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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Recently, we have been focusing on our neighbors to the south as we discuss issues of illegal immigration. But while we have been focusing our energies down there, something has been going on up in Canada. And it’s big. What is it, you may ask? Well, this: Soaring Costs Force Canada To Reassess Health Model. [...]

/ Bumped up / So much going on recently, like: DADT may be coming up for a vote in the House, but its repeal is far from guaranteed, especially with the Chiefs of the Four branches speaking out against repeal; The LA Times reported the hole was finally closed using the Top Kill method of [...]

This past week President Obama hosted his big Nuclear Summit, welcoming leaders from all over the world (except for Israel, of course – Obama seems intent on breaking up with our ally int he Middle East). Oh, yes – it was quite the big to-do. Obama was on tv freakin’ non-stop, with one teleprompted speech [...]

As we know, another massive earthquake hit in February (the 27th), this time in Chile. Not only was this 8.8 magnitude earthquake one of the most powerful on record, but it also spawned a tsunami that also rocked this country. The death toll there is 795. Many of those lost were in the coastal areas [...]

Oh, what a turn of events, and so quickly, too. Remember when Hugo Chavez called Bush “the devil” at another UN meeting? Many of us thought that was hilarious. Here’s the clip as a reminder: Yes, yes, that was mighty funny. Finally, someone was saying what so many of us lefties thought.

I know, I’m a little late to the party writing about Rio winning the 2016 Olympics, but it isn’t for lack of interest. Not at all – rather, I have been amused by some stories I have seen on the IOC decision. To say it took some people by surprise (that is, the Obamas, Oprah, [...]

I have thought what I would write about after my post on my beloved Sweetie (and I have been out of town helping to get my mom’s new Assisted Living unit set up for her this weekend). Honestly, I didn’t want to go off on anything or anyone today. Fortunately, thanks to NQ artist, Pat [...]

As in Governor Mark Sanford, our illustrious leader down here in South Carolina. You may have heard by now that Governor Sanford was, um, unavailable for a few days. Out of the clear blue sky, no one knew where the heck he was. Was he at his family’s summer home on Sullivan’s Island, keeping a [...]

You know, it being GLBT Pride Month and all, as Obama the Backstabber declared the other day – copying Hillary Clinton, ONCE AGAIN, after she acknowledged the 40th Anniversary of Stonewall (“Cheney Two, Obama Nothing, Clinton – a Thousand,” and “In Recognition of LGBT Pride Month“), the posts keep writing themselves. We already have gaping [...]

We have been exposed to an education lately on International Law and the Rule of Law. Everyone has been following the torture memos and some of us have a quaint understanding of how the U.S. signing the treaty at the Geneva Convention forcibly influenced laws that we were required, by the treaty, to add to [...]
