Smoking Gun II Update At End!
Very Important Updates Below!
Today we are gaining more and more clarity on the missteps that led up to a Nigerian Jihadist, who was armed with a powerful and sophisticated stealth bomb and trained by al Qaeda in Yemen, coming seconds away from inflicting a Christmas Day Massacre on Flight 253 [...]

I hate it when I am right on matters of life and death, when the conclusion is we could see a lot more death in our immediate future. I took a lot of heat when President Obama came to office hoping he would succeed. I did this because I knew his failure would have dangerous [...]

I knew it would not take too long before deep sources inside the intel community would start to spill the beans about changes the liberal Obama administration made to our national security apparatus that were the likely (and I emphasize that for now) cause for terrorists having more success in hitting us in 2009 than [...]

It finally happened – as so many of us predicted it would. The Flight 253 bomber has lawyered up and gone silent after only alluding to future attacks against America are on the way:
The Washington Post reports that the would-be Christmas bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, remains in a Detroit prision where, after initial debriefings by the [...]

Well, now we know how bad our defenses have atrophied since just after 9-11, and probably since President Bush left office. It seems the Somalis were able to detect and stop a similar airline bomb plot just last month:
MOGADISHU, Somalia – Officials say a Somali national tried to board a commercial airliner in Mogadishu last [...]

Welcome RCP Readers – you may want to check out this update in a later post where a State Department source confirms my suspicions. – end update
You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know the liberal leaning Obama administration came into DC with the intent of undoing as much of President Bush’s efforts [...]

I knew the Democrats were heading for political self destruction in 2010 and 2012 – but I had no idea it was going to be this bad. Here is the latest Rasmussen poll for the Nebraska Senate seat held by long time incumbent Ben Nelson (D):
Dave Heineman (R)
61%
Ben Nelson (D)
30%
Some other candidate
5%
Not sure
4%
That is just [...]

The finger pointing going on right now in the aftermath of the barely missed Christmas Day Massacre on Northwest Flight 253 is dizzying. The State Department is blaming the National Counter Terrorism Center for not revoking Abdulmutallab’s visa, and I am sure the NCTC is going to question why the State Department didn’t tell them [...]

When faced with a critical challenge I guess some people just need to feel like they are doing something, so they concoct useless and inane gestures to make it seem like they are doing their job. Then there is the whole ‘fool the people’ gambit as well, where you try and simply snooker people into [...]

Mr. President -
You have been measured;
You have been weighed;
And you and your team have been found wanting:

A Nigerian Muslim’s attempt to blow up an airliner landing in Detroit on Christmas Day has Americans much more concerned about the dangers of another terrorist attack.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 79% of U.S. voters [...]

VP candidate Joe Biden once predicted President Obama would be tested on national security and would fail. Today is the day VP Biden predicted would come. Today President Obama came out to publicly address the nearly successful Christmas Day Massacre aboard a Northwest Airline flight into Detroit Michigan.
It has only been one day since President Obama’s [...]

I think the American people have had a serious wake up call with the specter of a Christmas Day Massacre in the skies over Detroit. I, like countless other Americans, was flying with my entire family around this holiday season, and the idea that we could have all perished as a result of the incompetence [...]

On the heels of the lamest public CYA statement in a century, where our incompetent Secretary of Homeland Security ran onto the Sunday political talk shows claiming the ‘system worked‘ after a known terrorist sympathizer just barely failed to kill over 200 people on a commercial airliner on Christmas Day, we are reminded of how [...]

Hat tip to reader Crosspatch for pointing out what has to be the dumbest statement by a national leader in a century. Not since Britain’s Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain came back from a meeting with Adolf Hitler to declare peace was at hand (when in actuality World War II was about to begin and kill [...]

Both political fringes (or should I say all political fringes) have their mindless zealots. Everyone who thinks in simple absolutes (or should I say those who refuse to grapple with the complexities of the modern real world) is on a slippery slope, where their beliefs must be defended to the ultimate end.
I am not speaking [...]
