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 [...]

Not long ago, I reported that there were questions as to whether or not the State Department had been in the know about the DOJ’s “Gunwalking” program due to the connections in Mexico. While I was out of town, it seems Secretary Clinton addressed that very question (major H/T to Artemis for sending me this [...]

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. [...]

Or rather the insanity that is the United States’ “Gunwalking” program thickens. Turns out a new “wrinkle” to the program has been revealed. It wasn’t just guns that made their way to Mexican drug cartels under the auspices of this bone-headed program, but grenades as well. Intrepid reporter, Sharyl Atttkisson reported for CBS News brings [...]

So say Obama officials about the “Fast and Furious” program, according to Sharyl Attkisson (h/t to Helenk for this article). This story is moving fast now, with Holder being issued a subpoena by Congressional investigators finally (again, thanks, Helenk!). But I don’t want to get ahead of myself. What Ms. Attkisson said in a recent [...]

Osama bin Laden: killed and al Qaeda: on the run. That’s the balance sheet — more or less — that the U.S. has to share with the world. Meanwhile, its biggest ally in the War on Terror — Pakistan — has nothing to present except that its own people have been terrorized by militants, with [...]

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 [...]

Debra Saunders had a disturbing piece up at the San Francisco Chronicle recently. In the midst of all of the haggling, blaming, and name calling going on at the Hill, this may not seem like an exciting, gotcha kind of story, but it is an important one, and highlights a situation that will have a [...]

The old Ben Franklin adage, is apparently one with which our government is unfamiliar. Just within the past few days, three major wasteful decisions have come to light. The first is in the State Department. This wasn’t just a wasteful decision, but an unethical, immoral, and I have to hope, illegal one. Within the State [...]

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 [...]

This has been an evolving issue, the ATF’s Operation Fast and Furious. In case you are unfamiliar with this program, here are the basics to this program: A U.S. law enforcement operation intended to crack down on major weapons traffickers on the Southwest border spiraled out of control as federal agents were told by superiors [...]

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 [...]
