Question: “What’s your take on this 2008 hopeful? Duncan Hunter.” — hos9911 Answer: I think Duncan Hunter is a very intriguing candidate who could fulfill the role that George Allen was growing into before his untimely political demise a few weeks back. Hunter is the current Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and he’s […]

Question: If Iran manages to acquire nuclear weapons, which is looking more and more likely, what do you think the US response will be?” — Ben89 Answer: I wouldn’t say it’s a given that Iran will be allowed to acquire nukes. Bush does not strike me as the sort of guy who would willingly let […]

Question: “Keith Ellison, the first American Muslim elected to Congress, has said that he will only take his oath of office on the Qur’an, not on the Bible. Do you have a problem with this?” — maledicta Answer: Yes, I do, but it’s a moot point since the Democrats are going to allow it. Moreover, […]

Question: “Love your blog, I read it often. I have a question for you, though. You have mentioned in the fact that you are a Christian and a southern Baptist. If you are indeed a Bible believing Christian, why do make comments such as “Most species that have existed on earth at one point or […]

Question: “In light of Chucky Shumer’s recent remarks: Is Reaganism truly dead?” — Good_Ol_Boy Answer: The American people loved Reagan and most members of the conservative base consider themselves to be Reaganites, but if you look around Washington, you’ll find few Republicans in power who live by the same principles as Reagan. The last Republican […]

Question: “Best movie bad guys ever. Go.” — maledicta Answer: Here are my faves: Thulsa Doom from Conan: The evil, sword swinging sorcerer/cult leader who was Conan’s nemesis in the movie.

Question: “Do we have to colonize other planets in order to survive extinction, as Stephen Hawkings has said?” — D-Vega Answer: Most species that have existed on earth at one point or another have gone extinct, sometimes even after thriving for millions of years.

Question: “Critical race theorists are a very outspoken group that really seem to get almost no coverage whatsoever among the MSM, the blogosphere, or much of anywhere other than liberal academia fawning over them. A typical CRT essay will read something like this: “Whites tend not to recognize that race has little meaning without reference […]

Question: John, my question is about your work with Human Events. You have a weekly column (usually on wednesdays, apparently thursday this week), that much I know. What I am curious about is what kind of constraints do you have on your writing? Do you choose the subject of each column completely on your own? […]

Last week, I had an opportunity to interview Michael Fumento, who has now been embedded in Iraq three times and has recently returned from a trip to Ramadi. If you’re looking for someone in the media with the ground experience in Iraq, you couldn’t do much better than Michael Fumento. Now, on to the interview, […]

While I was on vacation, I was disturbed to hear that people were claiming that one of my favorite Congressmen, Tom Tancredo, was hyping the North American Union conspiracy theory: “Colorado Republican Tom Tancredo, revered by some U.S. conservatives for his efforts to staunch the flow of illegal immigrants from Mexico, said this week that […]

Vacation Commentary While I was on vacation last week, here are a few things that caught my eye: — I didn’t realize that Frank J. had an In My World, The Book out. I bet that’s a great book. A really funny read! — Michael Irvin appears to have gotten away, scot free, with the […]

Supposedly, the hot new idea from the Iraqi Study Group is that we should try to convince Iran and Syria to help us in Iraq. What a naive idea! To begin with, Iran and Syria are terrorist supporting enemies of the United States and it’s in their interests to see us fail in Iraq. That’s […]

What was that again, Mr. Ahmadinejad? “We all deplore injustice, the trampling of peoples’ rights and the intimidation and humiliation of human beings”? Do we really, now? “Iran issues fatwa on Azeri writer,” by Frances Harrison for BBC News, with thanks to Morgaan Sinclair: One of Iran’s most senior clergymen has issued a fatwa on […]

Last week, a well-known and beloved comedian used his act as a platform to spew racial slurs and epithets. Then, after Chris Rock concluded his show in a standing ovation, Michael “Kramer” Richards launched into an unprovoked racist tirade against two helpless African Americans in the audience, utterly destroying their lives and throwing the civil […]

“The U.S. military is no longer able to defeat a bloody insurgency in western Iraq [Al Anbar Province] or counter al Qaeda’s rising popularity there, according to newly disclosed details from a classified Marine Corps intelligence report,” began a front-page article in yesterday’s Washington Post by Dafna Linzer and Thomas E. Ricks. It concerned the […]

I just realized that with the extra media strength I have today by being able to blog at Right Wing News as well as my own blog IMAO, I now have the power to declare things civil wars. Thus, I would like to declare that Belgium is now in a civil war with the conflict […]

It’s often claimed that finding all 12 million illegal aliens and deporting them is unrealistic. I dunno, but maybe there are 12 million other people easier to find we can deport instead, like punk teenagers who hang out at the mall. Also, we could send Mexico all our rapists, as the Dog the Bounty Hunter […]

And in the process has no doubt endeared himself to the MSM. Why? Read on: At a recent White House reception for freshman members of Congress, Virginia’s newest senator tried to avoid President Bush. Democrat James Webb declined to stand in a presidential receiving line or to have his picture taken with the man he […]

The King of the Sunday no one cares but him and his family press conferences, NY Senator Chuck Schumer, made some more stupid comments: As appeared in the NY Daily News: Chuck swung by the Daily News for an editorial board meeting this morning, which you’ll be able to read more about in tomorrow’s News. […]

UPDATE: My wife reminded me that the Great Wall of China is a cool wall people like to visit, so basically my whole argument has been blown away. If we could have a wall like that, I’d totally be for it. UPDATE 2: I can see a lot of heated disagreement in the comments, so […]

Anyway, I have a cool, thought-provoking post I’m working on as a Right Wing News exclusive, but, […]

This story is just getting stranger and stranger. After murdered ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko made a deathbed confession pointing the finger directly at the Kremlin, the Kremlin has responded back and accused Litvinenko’s billionaire friend, Boris Berezovsky, a man who has employed and funded the ex-spy. Traces of radioactive polonium-210, which is what killed Litvinenko, were […]
