It seems the recent increase in surgical drone strikes on al Qaeda and Taliban leadership, hiding out in the some of the tribal areas of Pakistan, has been very successful: The top hierarchy of al-Qaeda has taken such a hit from US missile strikes that Osama bin Laden and his deputy have had to replace […]

  I have been holding off on commenting on the Israeli actions in Gaza against Hamas, primarily because the handwringing from the Surrendercrats on the left has just been too embarrassing even to discuss. I tend to view these events similar to how Alan Dershowitz recently described the situation: Israel’s decision to take military action […]

Update: Ugh – Miami provided another major let down. Congrats the Ravens. – end update Yesterday’s NFL Wild Card games were excellent – mainly because the games were not really settled until the very end. In my mind, that’s what makes good Football. The Arizona Cardinals, playing at home for the first time in many […]

I have written extensively about the evils of Embryonic Stem Cell Research (the killing of young human beings for spare parts) verses the proven rewards of Adult Stem Cell Research. With the liberal left now taking the reigns of power one would expect the gates of Hell to swing wide open as greedy people attempt […]

  This financial mess has released the worst in people – greed. Instead of being responsible for their own state budgets and messes, now governors (mostly Democrat) are going to the Feds and asking to take my hard earned tax dollars and spend them bailing out states I don’t live, work or spend in.

One of my biggest questions regarding Obama’s incoming presidency is whether he will continue the pressure and attacks on the remnant Taliban and al Qaeda forces hold up in Pakistan’s lawless tribal regions, specifically the FATA agencies of North Waziristan, South Waziristan and Bajaur (see map above, click for larger image). In recent months the […]

Fate has a habit of slapping down human arrogance in a such a manner as to establish historic examples of how mankind should not take itself too seriously. This decade’s lesson on hubris will be tied to the man-made Global Warming fanatics led by Al Gore and the UN’s IPCC. For nearly 3 decades these […]

Again, my apologies for the light posting. Between the holiday events and shipping our Marine recruit off to boot camp we have been swamped. And I have been extremely demoralized with the idiocy coming out of the extreme right. We have major national issues at hand and some people have just lost all perspective on […]

Updated I tell you what, the conservative movement is now totally destroyed. Some idiot running for RNC chairman took a sweet child’s song and twisted it into an ugly, racist, turd of supposed humor: The sending of a Christmas greeting by Chip Saltsman to the members of the Republican National Committee that includes a recording […]
