Bloggers, like me, are voicing their views and commentary on the news (and falsehoods, etc) of the day as is our right under the constitution.  When a corporation tries to tell me I cannot comment, criticize (and more often correct) their lousy product I lose all interest in being reasonable.  There are lines you do […]

Major Update:  In the Year of The Democrat, Obama is not doing as well with Democrats as McCain is among Republicans: There is a remarkable consistency across all these polls, one that helps us draw certain boundaries around the electorate. There will always be variation, either random or events-driven, but the rough plot lines of […]

It has long been my contention the last military battle of this War on Terror might happen in the lawless region of the tribal areas of Pakistan, from where Taliban and al-Qaeda militants are raiding the southern regions of Afghanistan.  The number of border incidents have been increasing, culminating in the battle which began in […]

Sadr and his Sadrists movement are in full retreat politically and militarily in Iraq as Maliki further strengthens the Iraqi government’s control of that country: Iraqi Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr’s recent decisions show he is pursuing a twin strategy — trying to regain control of his militia and avoiding confrontation with the government. … But […]

Sorry folks, but the AP is threatening bloggers who note their stories and try and send their readers to those same AP stories.

Boy, could I get behind a McCain-Giuliani ticket! That would really put New York and California in play. I will note the David Frum piece linked to does not once suggest picking Rudy – but someone has it in mind and I like it. In fact, knowing Frum is a far right ‘true’ conservative, I […]

The Honeymoon is over for Barack Obama, who is sliding badly in the Gallup daily tracking poll (click image to see original post): Maybe these sliding polls explain Obama’s lame effort at machismo and his desire to get a gun and start a fight with McCain. All the hallmarks of a desperate man on the […]

(Click on the image to find out more about it). The liberals in this country need to stop playing games with national security. What I am talking about is they need to stop trying pretending the mythical dirty tricks run by the NSA are more important than the reality of terrorist states having nuclear weapon […]

If the fools in Pakistan’s new government actually thought the world would be OK with ‘peace’ treaties with militants on their soil which promised Pakistan would not be attacked but other nations like Afghanistan and the US could be attacked they were bigger fools than I thought.  Either as allies of the terrorists or victims […]
