Three days of fighting between local tribesman, against an al Qaeda stronghold seems to tell me there is some very important reason al Qaeda is holding strong and taking the beating they apparently are taking: Fighting between local and Uzbek militants escalated in northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, as the death toll from three days of […]

I knew Governor Blanco of Louisiana was a disaster during Katrina, but I never knew how much until I read this in a local paper – and her screw ups seem to have started from day one and dominoed from there. Her failure to take quick action to remove the tolls from the Crescent City […]

The Dems are learning a few brutal political lessons, the first of which is they are not President and no one wants them to be, and no one asked them to pretend to be. Check out the WSJ’s commentary on the foolishness (and the wasted actions) of the Congressional Democrats: In wartime, day-to-day military operations […]

All of those who quit on the administration, who called for Gonzales to step down, who looked forward to a replacement – in essence every conservative and Republican who sided with the liberal dems – welcome to a lesson in both backbone and timing: President Bush warned Democrats Tuesday to accept his offer to allow […]

If anyone doesn’t think the tide is turning in Iraq they missed this news where Iraqis opened a can of “WhoopAss” on al Qaeda in Fallujah: Members of an Iraqi tribe along with local police managed to kill 39 al-Qaeda fighters in the town of Falluja, west of the capital city, Iraq’s state TV said […]

A quick Flyby this morning before a full day of work. Here is an interesting account in the BBC from someone who has taken two trips into Ramadi – the heart of al Qaeda’s dream caliphate and a center of terrorism and insurgency in Iraq. A snippet: This city of some 400,000 people has been […]

Update: President Bush, one of the few Reps out there with a spine, did as I suspected and is backing Gonzales. And the liberal media and Dems are going to remain distracted (and therefore off balance) on this lame AG shake up – opening opportunities for Reps to show some leadership on serious issues – […]

Nothing is more telling than results. Washington DC has one of the country’s highest per student price tags for public education, and one of the worst records for literacy – where now over a third of the nation’s capitol is functionally illiterate. And Liberals want to bring this magic to schools near you! Thankfully George […]

I pointed out in an earlier post the simple, hard math that this country doesn’t have the law enforcement and incarceration facilities to handle 20% of the immigration population (supposing the immigrant crime rate is much higher than our national average) because that is equal to our entire, current prison inmate population.
