In a pretty interesting discovery, it has been found that Obama’s EPA administration has blocked the release of a scientific report questioning the science behind global warming, which would embarrass the Obama administration and all his Democrat cronies in Congress, especially now that they just voted for the Cap and Trade Energy Tax bill... »

What is this world coming to? It looks like Al Franken has finally been certified as the winner of the Minnesota Senate race, which would effectively give the Democrats a filibuster-proof majority. Obama must be ecstatic; after all, this is just in time for confirmation hearings for 67%-reversed Sonia Sotomayor and for pushing through... »

I recently discussed a new crusade the French are embarking on against the burqas in their midst. Well, apparently, al Qaeda finally decided to take up the challenge and has now issued a call for “all Muslims to confront this hostility with greater hostility, and to counter France’s efforts to divide male and female... »

Exceptional journalist Tom Gross reports: The U.S. government has announced it will finance the construction of a Palestinian computer center named in honor of arch Fatah terrorist Dalal Mughrabi, who led the 1978 bus bombing on Israel’s coastal highway in which 37 Israeli civilians, including 12 children and U.S. citizen Gail Rubin, were murdered.... »

Seventeenth century English politician Algernon Sydney said that “liars need to have good memories.”  Well, the folks at the New York Times should learn a lesson from that because they spend so much time spinning (and outright lying), that they sometimes lose track of their “facts” in the stories they spin. James Taranto of the... »

While I often reserve some respect for Anthony Weiner (D-NY) due to his sometimes sensitive and sensible positions, every now and then he does something so stupid and demonstrative of such a lapse of intelligence and good judgment that it makes me absolutely livid. The last exchange of letters I had with him on... »

In this hot-off-the-wire news, the Associated Press reports that the Supreme Court ruled today in favor of the Connecticut firefighters suing over the denial of promised promotions, reversing the decision of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. This brings Sotomayor’s reversal rate up to an abysmal 67%, an astoundingly high rate, and casts some embarrassing doubt... »

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) fought a noble crusade against the Cap n’ Trade Energy Tax Bill on the House Floor on Friday, reading an hour’s worth of choice parts from the bill, illustrating the taxing effect it will have on everyone. (As The Hill reports, when asked why did that, he responded,... »

Steven Plaut, a professor, writer, and blogger living in Haifa recently posted on his blog the eye-catching headline: “L.A. Times runs a pro-settlement column!”.  Naturally, I had to check it out. While the headline was technically accurate, what he must have missed was the fact that the L.A. Times also simultaneously ran not one,... »

It has taken many years, but it looks like it’s finally happening! I’m talking about the voice of reason being heard in the whole global warming hysteria. Al Gore has been viciously beating his tired old drum for years now and pushing ridiculous taxes and ridiculous policies (I’m not even going to get into... »

Similar to what I’ve been saying all, while democratic revolution is a noble initiative and a cause worth fighting for, we should not to too excited just yet about what’s going on in Iran until we know what they plan to do with that democracy, and if their intention really is a true democracy... »

So, last night was the airing of the notorious Obama Health Care Infomercial on ABC (the full transcript can be viewed here). As expected, this was hardly the “conversation” from “both sides” that it was touted to be. For starters, as the Business & Media Institute reports, Obama’s ramblings added up to 60% of... »

I don’t know if this is directly related to the subject of my previous post, Human Rights Watch Targets Hamas For A Change, but Haaretz is reporting breaking news that, according to European sources, Gilad Shalit’s transfer to Egypt is “imminent”. Whether this means that his release is also “imminent”, or what “imminent” actually means,... »

Elliot Abrams, a senior fellow for Middle Eastern Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, and a U.S. official who handled Middle East affairs at the National Security Council from 2001 to 2009, has written a forceful op-ed piece in today’s Wall Street Journal on the agreement between the United States and Israel on... »

Arutz Sheva reports that Human Rights Watch, the group that usually takes aim at Israel based on any number of Palestinian-propagandist rumors, has finally decided to address a real human rights issue, namely, the kidnapping of Gilad Shalit by Hamas, who has been held prisoner with virtually no contact with the outside world for... »
