Friday evenings are when bad news comes out that people hope will be missed by most of America. Summer time Fridays are the best because people are off work and heading for their weekend. It is now 5:00 PM Eastern and Obama has missed the window on his VP selection for America this week.   […]

McCain is going to benefit big time from this Obama screw up: There’s one Democrat who would seem to have little or no chance of being picked by Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to be his running mate – his former opponent, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).  But it’s not for the reason you think.  Obama has often said, […]

Some people don’t understand that near-manic passion can translate into repulsion. There is a point where people who believe strongly in something cross a line and those strong beliefs start to repel everyone else. Why? Strong beliefs turn into quasi-dictatorial positions. Either you believe as they do or you are the evil enemy. Face it, […]

Factcheck.org has examined the physical Obama COLB and put to rest all the bizarre, stupid and unethical claims regarding its authenticity and Obama’s citizenship. They even provide pictures of all the features that many of us said were there and others claimed did not exist in the initial round of conspiracy theories (go to fact […]

In a post yesterday I noted another apparent US missile strike inside the Tribal Areas of Pakistan along the Afghanistan border. Some reports this morning claim the two US missiles took out a significant number of Arab fighters (al-Qaeda) in the FATA Agency of South Waziristan: Twelve people, most of them alleged foreign fighters, were […]

Boy, this is no way to limp into your party’s convention! I posted earlier (here and here) on a slew of polls showing Obama slipping against McCain. Even more polls are out this evening showing the same trend, an Obama poll slip.  In the first post I noted I predicted Obama would likely limp into […]

  The US apparently has struck another al-Qaeda compound inside the Pakistan FATA agency of South Waziristan: Missiles fired from Afghanistan hit a militant hideout in Pakistan’s tribal belt Wednesday, killing at least eight people including some foreign extremists, security officials said. The strike in the South Waziristan region was the first since key US […]

Reader Stevevvs pointed me to this incredible story about how one of our military personnel is being prosecuted for War Crimes in a civil court: A former Marine sergeant facing the first federal civilian prosecution of a military member accused of a war crime says there is much more at stake than his claim of […]
