The FISA-NSA “compromise” (more like a capitulation) has unnerved the far left and their crackpot enablers on the right. Some in Congress (and apparently the NY Times) want the NSA, a military unit, to get a warrant before it monitors terrorist enemies overseas. Why?

When the liberals can clearly explain the victory Bush just had with Arlen Specter on the issue of FISA, the NSA and surveillance of terrorists overseas and their contacts here in the US there is no reason to do anything more than step aside and give them the stage. Take the time and visit here […]

I have posted for some time on the delusional madness that is rampant in Iran’s leadership. The President of Iran thinks he is in final contact with the last Prophet, leading the way for his arrival and 70 virgins all around. The apoclyptic vision of martyrdom is absolutely scary when you add nuclear weapons to […]

Sen Jeff Sessions tried to sneak the border-only solution through the Senate by funding only the southern border fence in an amendment to a Bill dealing with Homeland Defense (separate from the Senate Comprehensive Immigration bill). Sessions should have spent time fixing the nutty things in the Senate’s Comprehensive bill instead of pulling a political […]
