The verdict on the Democrats is coming in and it is not good (the link to the new poll is at the end if you want to bypass the narrative). The Democrats played a risky game all year in their grasping attempts to paint President Bush as a fear mongering, power hungry, out of control […]

Folks, the earth’s temperatures are rising. I don’t want people to think there is no Global Warming in the sense the effect is real. Data shows it has been warming for hundreds of years to levels seen prior to the Little Ice Age which occurred around 1300. What is not known is the cause of […]

The short lived parity of the Dems fundraising against the GOP has come to a crashing end: Republicans trying to hold onto the House raised $12.5 million in July, outpacing Democrats by a 3-to-1 margin but leaving the GOP just $1 million ahead in cash on hand. … The NRCC has raised $70 million so […]

I am curious to see how many trains typically derail in a week or month after I noticed a lot of train derailments in the news. The largest today was in Egypt with 80 dead. Another one derailed in Spain with 8 dead. But then there was a train derailment in El Paso 7 days […]

The issue was that everything […]

That fact France has shown once again what a pathetic ally they are by not committing any serious troops to the Lebanon peace keeping force tells me it is time to totally realign the UN. Europe doesn’t need France on the Security Council if it is going to surrender every time there is a tough […]

I posted two days ago on the bomb plot that was uncovered in Germany and only now am I seeing this story in the news. I wonder why the media has been slow to tell the public about this second attempted terrorist attack to be avoided this month? In this case the attack was underway […]

The leftward fringes are a piece of work, I will give them that. Apparently one of those who flew the cuckoo’s nest has come out with a book that claims that Flight 93 was not the first battle in the sky between Americans and the Islamic fascists. The author writes his dribble in the Daily […]
