People in the Obama administration notified news outlets that are spies inside the al Qaeda network were helping us target al Qaeda leaders with drones.. In what appears to be an effort to show progress on the war on terror, the Obama administration has just told al Qaeda what methods are working for us – which […]

In 2008, a suspicious National Intelligence Estimate was leaked to the news media, apparently to influence the 2008 presidential elections. An NIE is the consensus view on the threats to this nation, at times on a specific topic like Iran or Iraq or al Qaeda. In 2007 the NIE was a crass act of misinformation. […]

Good news out of the Senate Finance Committee: A key Senate panel on Tuesday voted against creating a new government health insurance plan to compete with the private market. The 15-to-8 vote in the Senate Finance Committee could forecast the fate of the public option in the Senate as a whole. Not even close. This should […]

In a previous post I noted the great work Steve McIntyre at Climate Audit was performing in tracking down some of the questionable (i.e., cherry picked) data used by the IPCC and global warming alarmists to create the impression that the Earth has experienced unnatural warming over the last 50-100 years.

Two stories caught my eye this week which indicate to me we should be seriously cutting back onthe lame bureaucracies we have put in place over the last 100 years or so.

As the father of three daughters all I had to do was read this brutally honest piece at Salon to realize Roman Polanski deserves a couple of decades in jail for the crime he admitted to. Anyone defending him is sick (and on my life time boycott list).

Well, I guess the New York Times showed its colors today as it weeps over the demise of socialism (which has never worked to lift people up, but definitely oppressed them): A specter is haunting Europe — the specter of Socialism’s slow collapse. Even in the midst of one of the greatest challenges to capitalism […]

Wow, just noticed we passed the 4 Million visitors mark sometime today. Thanks to all our readers and supporters for carrying this little ‘ol blog to this impressive point in just over 4 years time. Couldn’t do it without you! Cheers, AJStrata

Major Update Below! Paul Krugman’s ego runneth over. He thinks he can wade into the scientific debate surrounding global warming and be credible. Where he gets these delusions of grandeur is unknown to me. As someone who works in the complex and competitive world of space systems and aerospace, I know that the young and […]
