Is President Obama negotiating a truce with al Qaeda? Is he going to legitimize these nut jobs by actually opening a dialogue and discussing terms as equals on the world stage?  Barack Obama was working with Arab intermediaries to establish an unofficial dialogue with Al Qaida long before his election as the 44th U.S. president, […]

We have been seeing the insanity that takes over politicians when they gain power. They somehow think the office bestows them with (a) demigod-like insight into the workings of the universe (though many cannot keep up with basic science) and (b) have been given the right to tell others how to live. Our laws were […]

  Unintended consequences. Sometimes these are accidental benefits, serendipities. In these cases the lack of forethought preceding the result is forgiven with humble amazement of the thing called ‘luck’. But when the results are disastrous, then the question becomes could someone reasonably have foreseen the potential for disaster and stopped it. So let me remove all […]

It is becoming quite apparent that some zealots in the federal government have been rigging their data to create the false impression there is an ecological emergency – where there is none: When first implemented in 1990 as USHCN version1, it employed 1221 stations across the United States. In 1999, NASA’s James Hansen published this […]

The economy is hurting because so many people lost so much wealth their consumption has slowed down incredibly. This slow down in consumption has caused a massive and expanding ripple effect. Now many industries are seeing their revenues slow down or dry up, which causes them to lay off people – and the cycle continues. The initial jolting […]

Obama took and interesting, if impotent, move today by making his first press interview directed towards the Muslim World: President Obama expressed optimism yesterday about the prospect of peace between Israel and the Palestinians, but he said a peace accord will take time and require new thinking about the problems of the Middle East as a whole. […]

It has not taken Obama long to destroy the image of hope and change he presented the American People. As Pew just noted yesterday the top issues for this country – per the voters – is the Economy, Jobs and Terrorism. To date all of Obama’s actions have been irrelevant or undermining to these issues. […]

President Obama and the Democrat Congress have a lot of challenges ahead of them – none of which they seem interested on taking on in a serious manner. Pew has just come out with a new poll which puts the beloved economically crippling concept of Global Warming dead last on the list of national priorities: […]

Sorry for the light posting, work is kicking my butt (which is a good problem considering). Just a kick post on what I heard this morning on the GITMO debacle. Seems President Obama issued the Executive Order to close GITMO without and plan or idea on what to do with the inmates there (most hard […]

One of the most disturbing stories since we learned Polonium 210 was being traipsed through London and Europe surfaced yesterday. Polonium 210 is optimal as two kinds of WMD. First, it is a key element in early atomic weapons as part of the nuclear trigger which causes the atomic blast. Second, it is deadly in […]
