As a follow up to previous posts on the Pakistan effort to take on the al-Qaeda hornets nests in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) there is some interesting news coming out of Bajaur Agency today (see previous posts Exodus In Mohmand Agency Might Indicate al-Qaeda Presence, Taliban Use Human Shields To Protect Them In Bajaur Agency, Pakistan […]

The completely unreported war against the remnants of al-Qaeda and their extreme Taliban cousins has moved into an interesting phase. There have been reports of al-Qaeda and rogue Taliban in many parts of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan which run along the Afghanistan border. One of those areas was Bajaur Agency, which […]

Where is the runaway global warming caused by human activity and driven by our ever widening Carbon Footprints? Ever since 1998 we have seen global cooling.  In 1998 we hit a relative high global temperature – but not as high as humanity has seen before (see graph below) – and that is when the Chicken […]

This is one of the lamest stories to ever come out of the liberal media: Ethnic and racial minorities will comprise a majority of the nation’s population in a little more than a generation, according to new Census Bureau projections, a transformation that is occurring faster than anticipated just a few years ago.

Latest Update:  Sounds like we took out over 20 of the enemy and may have hit an al-Qaeda nest: According to details, four missiles fired from Afghanistan hit the compound of the Baghar Camp. There are conflicting reports regarding missile attacks. Some of the tribesmen claimed that the allied forces jet fighters fired these missiles […]

Yes To Democracy alerted me to some interesting happenings over at the Cult of The COLB. It seems the ‘esteemed’ Techdud has gone underground and those blogs who had been promoting his ‘reports’ have pulled them: Update:  Techdude has informed me that he is unable to continue his work at this time, due to family obligations […]

Obama’s Olympic Bounce in the polls is not good news. I had predicted Obama sinking a bit in the polls before the Democrat election, and so far the opposite has happened (check the RCP poll average and the Gallup Daily Tracking Poll). OK, normally I should be dishing up some crow to chow down on […]

People who truly respect the sanctity of life, like myself, are looking at a dearth of options in 2008. While McCain is likely to support the conservative stance on abortion (to a point) to retain his conservative base, Obama is clearly going to go for the unfettered killing of young humans. And, no big surprise […]
