Looks like Harry Reid (D-NV) can kiss his job goodbye, considering this Roll Call news item: President Barack Obama will appear with politically embattled Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) in Las Vegas next month, according to a White House official. Let’s just hope Obama’s campaign “assistance” organizers don’t forget about Barbara Boxer and... »

The Daily Mail is reporting that: A 13-year-old girl has been sentenced to 90 lashes and two months’ prison in Saudi Arabia after she took a mobile phone to school. A court ordered the girl to be flogged in front of her classmates following an assault on the school principal, according to the Saudi... »

Our old “friends”, the French, are at it again, this time accusing us of “occupying” Haiti!  Maybe the U.S. should start thinking about just sitting out the next few disasters and letting the world crumble away while all the ungrateful idiots around the globe suddenly are faced with much more responsibility and dire consequences.... »

Unlike most liberals who are at least either smart enough or ashamed enough to try to hide their crooked political tactics, here’s one loony liberal who has no problem announcing to the world that he advocates voter fraud in order to beat conservatives (at least he realizes that it’s getting harder and harder to... »

Just when you thought there wasn’t anything left to blame on Bush and Cheney (since they’re even blaming the weather on them these days), here’s the idiotic motherjones.com web site (which ironically bills itself as “smart fearless journalism”) with this ludicrous headline: How Bush-Cheney Policy Screwed Haiti I wonder if Bush-Cheney is also responsible for... »

After reading this news item yesterday, which reports that Netanyahu actually asked permission from Obama to construct housing in settlements and got a “one-time permission” from him… I am a bit in shock. Did Netanyahu lose his backbone? Is he going the path of Sharon and many of his other predecessors who apparently went... »

Chuck Schumer (D-NY), a man never known to waste a sound bite or any other opportunity to distribute his “pearls of wisdom”, stepped into the gutter this weekend by sending out a fundraising email with some crass references to Massachusetts candidate for senator, Scott Brown. Yes, the hypocrite who got all indignant when Al... »

A little over four months ago, I posted about second-rate has-been Danny Glover’s idiotic decision to dabble in politics (if you thought he was bad at acting…). Well, it seems he can’t keep his big mouth shut for too long. Now, after the devastating disaster in Haiti, he amazingly came to the conclusion that... »

I just came across a great piece in the Jerusalem Post that Michael Freund wrote a couple of months ago, in which he illustrates how the Arab world is full of self-righteous, self-important babbling statesmen rushing to the cause of their Palestinian brethren… but when it comes to actually helping them financially, they’re nowhere... »

A couple of months ago, Khaled Abu Toameh posted a great piece aimed at those rabblerousers who jump at the opportunity to bash Israel and explain their actions by saying that they are “Pro-Palestinian”. His sharp piece calls those people’s bluff by challenging them to use their same energy to fight the real enemies... »

Considering the reputation of Massachusetts Democrats, this probably comes as no surprise. John McCormack, a reporter for the conservative Weekly Standard magazine (one which I highly recommend, by the way), was roughed up by a thug working for the Democrat candidate for Senator, Martha Coakley. The icing on the cake is the fact that... »

David Gergen was not hiding his liberal agenda while moderating a public debate between Scott Brown, GOP candidate for the open Senate seat in Massachusetts, and Martha Coakley, the Democrat candidate. He actually had the shameless audacity to phrase a question directed at Brown as follows: “Are you willing to say: I’m going to... »

Herbert I. London wrote a great post for the HudsonNY blog, entitled “Egyptian Chutzpah“, in which he discusses Egypt’s new “apartheid wall” initiative. Of course, they wouldn’t call it an “apartheid wall”—that distinction apparently only applies when it’s done by Israel. Nevertheless, it’s the exact same thing (a wall) for the exact same reason... »

Bret Stephens wrote a great piece in the WSJ last week describing how our civilization has “progressed” so much that we’ve essentially progressed ourselves into incompetence, specifically when it comes the common sense approach to profiling. As he succinctly puts it: “we are as often undone by our virtues as by our vices”, and... »

The GOP’s web site has a very clear and concise accounting of the job situation—both now, with Obama, and in previous years, with Bush. It’s incredible to see how year after year during the Bush years, new jobs were created in sometimes staggering numbers, while Obama’s job performance and continued outlook is abysmal, despite... »
