Larry Johnson is wild with conspiracy theories, but he also may be on to something (though I seriously doubt his version of things – the man is a professional liar for hire).  Recently he hinted at a GOP held tape of Michelle Obama railing against Whitey inside Rev Wright’s Trinity Church (something believable I guess).

As far as the liberal and political elite are concerned Hillary Clinton’s race for the White House is over.  But today will bring the people’s voice into the debate – the only voice that counts.  According to Real Clear Politics Clinton is heading for another smashing upset in KY today.  It seems the Democratic base […]

Sometimes you have to wonder if the news media is actually working for the terrorists, especially when they use headlines to warn terrorists of something coming their way.  Take this idiotic news story as an example: British and American Special Forces have started a secret operation inside the Shiite Sadr City of Baghdad searching for […]

On this 3rd anniversary of the Strata-Sphere we have mostly good news out there on the war on terror.   First off, the truce between Iraq and the Sadrist’s Mahdi Army seems to be holding (which means those citizens under the shadow of the Mahdi are getting a taste of life without Jihad): Iraqi army […]

LJStrata and I have been working to get the new look and features up today – but soccer games intervened in a lot of the testing!  Sorry for the delays, I hope you like the site as much as we do. We made it so folks can now edit your typos (sorry for the delay […]
