What is it with the Republican Party these days? As if their self-destructive infighting and their self-destructive lack of cohesive policy and leadership weren’t bad enough, now they have infidelity scandals to further their self-destruction. In back to back explosions a week apart, first Nevada Senator John Ensign has his extramarital affair plastered all... »

Matthew Balan posts on the Newsbusters blog an on-air exchange between a CNN reporter and an Iranian student, in which the student begs the world not to stand idly by and to instead do all they can to help the cause of democracy in Iran.  He specifically singled out Obama in his pleas for... »

UPI is reporting that Israel is developing freeze-dried blood powder, whereby soldiers can carry pouches of their own freeze-dried blood that can be used for emergency medical treatment by just adding water! This is among several other new lifesaving devices invented by Israelis also mentioned towards the end of the report. I hope that... »

John McCormack, the deputy online editor at The Weekly Standard, had a great tweet yesterday, referencing the liberal TNR blog’s dig at Nixon which was entitled “Nixon: Abort Interracial Babies”. The blog quotes Nixon musing about the availability of abortion being necessary for seemingly unintended babies of interracial sex, slamming him for “aborting interracial... »

I strongly recommend that everyone view the following ten-minute video of Wafa Sultan speaking at David Horowitz’s Restoration Weekend in Florida in November 2007. In this clip, Wafa Sultan speaks very movingly about her terrible experience growing up as a female in Islam, and very bravely gives a brief eye-opening background into the history of... »

Obama has a tactic for rewriting history that he uses all the time which drives me absolutely crazy. He says things like: “…and I’ve said this all along…” “I’ve always been very clear about this…” “…I’ve been very consistent about this…” …when, in reality, no such thing ever happened.  He does this every time... »

CQ Politics last week posted a great analysis showcasing Harry Reid’s sudden case of the jitters concerning his chummy relationship with Obama juxtaposed with the concerns of many voters upset by Obama’s hard line on Israel and free pass for the Palestinians. Oh, and he’s up for re-election soon. The case of the jitters... »

Agence France Presse reports that the State Department stands behind its invitation to the Iranian diplomats to attend our embassies’ Independence Day barbecues. They write: “There’s no thought to rescinding the invitations to Iranian diplomats,” State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters. “We have made a strategic decision to engage on a number of... »

The Investigative Project on Terrorism reports that the ACLU is fighting government efforts to shut down terrorist-financing charities here in the United States. There is overwhelming evidence implicating such charities as the “Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development”, the “Global Relief Foundation”, and several others, in funneling money to Hamas and other terrorist... »

Breitbart is reporting an AP story about Sarkozy’s new crusade against burqas, where he is commissioning a panel to study the growing burqa trend in France.  Even more surprising, Sarkozy came out with the strong political (and politically incorrect) statement that that “the burqa is not a religious sign, it’s a sign of subservience,... »

In an Associated Press report out today, the ACLU is filing a lawsuit against the Transportation Security Administration for overstepping its bounds with an unreasonable and unnecessarily extensive search. The story is that Steven Bierfeldt, a Ron Paul supporter, had taken part in hosting a fundraising event and was traveling on a domestic flight... »

Could it be? Is Newsweek’s infatuation with the man who can do no wrong in their eyes finally over? In what must have been either a very tough editorial decision, or a massive oversight, Newsweek’s web site actually has an article entitled, “Obama Closes Door On Openness” (the web page itself is titled, “Obama:... »

There’s always quite a lot not to like about Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), but she is always looking to add icing to that cake, and she did a good job of it recently. I realize I’m a little late on weighing in on this, and that’s because I initially thought it too stupid to... »

This week, I read a great editorial by Mortimer Zuckerman of U.S. News on the twisted logic at play in the Middle East.  He discusses how the Palestinians overt aims of destroying Israel has slowly evolved into a more covert one, while being increasingly disguised with pretenses of peace talks.  While dangling the idea... »

White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs was asked by a reporter: that “there are some countries where a single-payer system works pretty well” Do you know what countries he was referring to or what he was talking about? …to which he responded with a half-hearted series of fumbling, rambling nonsense. I’d criticize... »
