The fastest way to tame the out of control Democrats is to remind them of their own promises for bipartisanship through the veto: As they prepare to take control of Congress this week and face up to campaign pledges to restore bipartisanship and openness, Democrats are planning to largely sideline Republicans from the first burst […]

I find it interesting that the first election cycle with Democrat control of Congress will also see a signature issue failure to greet its supporters. Gay Marriage will, in all likelihood, go down to defeat at the hands of voters: Massachusetts lawmakers approved a measure on Tuesday that could give voters a chance next year […]

Reader Crosspatch noted a series of like sounding, yet unsourced and unspecified death figures for Iraq in the comments of this post. One would have to wonder, in light of all the shenanigans discovered with AP and other media credibility on Iraq stories, whether these have any basis in reality. So I also did some […]

Curt at Flopping Aces has been beating the news media over the head with the realization they have been dupes (or much worse) in issuing fake stories from a fake news source in Iraq. I can only salute Curt and others for exposing these lies and the fools or liars who printed them as news. […]

In a country of 20 million, one would see the protest of a few hundred people as something well below ‘underwhelming’. But not the AP and other propaganda outifts.

Al Qaeda received a major defeat in Somolia over the last few weeks as the Somoli and Ethiopian armies routed the Islamo-Fascists from just about all corners of the country they once deemed a major haven: Somalia’s prime minister said Tuesday that rival Islamic fighters have been scattered and he does not expect any more […]

Being an conservative independent I many times get derisively called a RINO (Republican In Name Only), which is pretty funny considering the fact I am not (and probably never will be) a Republican. I support the essence of conservatism, such as limited ‘functioning’ government. Low taxes and minimal dictates on behavior from the denizens of […]

I find the Litvinenko vs Putin story to be an intriguing example of the double standards of the news media. I am not talking all the media, but the perponderance of stories regarding the Litvinenko death revolve around blind allegiance to those people who became obscenely rich after the Soviet Union fell and who took […]
