From Marc Thiessen, at Washington Post, “WikiLeaks Must be Stopped“: Let’s be clear: WikiLeaks is not a news organization; it is a criminal enterprise. Its reason for existence is to obtain classified national security information and disseminate it as widely as possible — including to the United States’ enemies. These actions are likely a violation […]

Folks are reacting to that line at the ruling. AoSHQ is especially good. And Jeff Goldstein responds: … this ruling does nothing more than enshrine the notion that what has always been the definition for marriage can no longer be the definition for marriage, because defining marriage as it has always been defined is discriminatory […]

“Another of our country’s children, giving his life for our freedom from terrorism. God bless you, soldier, thank you for your ultimate sacrifice. You will never be forgotten.” — From the comments at the Orange County Register. The photo shows U.S. Marine Michael Chang grieving at the memorial for his best friend, Army Sgt. Daniel […]

At Israel Matzav, “Why There Shouldn’t Be a Mosque at Ground Zero.” More on Flight 175 here. RELATED: “‘WE HAVE SOME PLANES’.” BREAKING: Dan Senor, at WSJ, “An Open Letter on the Ground Zero Mosque” (via Memeorandum): Our deeper concern is what effect Cordoba House would have on the families of 9/11 victims, survivors of […]

Blood libel accusations are a central manifestation of historical anti-Semitism. BooMan‘s deliberately vague remarks about how he “could accuse” people like Pamela Geller of “committing acts of bestiality, ritual Satanism, and drinking the blood of gentile babies” are drawn right out the ancient books of eliminationist Jew-hatred. Just to imply such abominations among conservatives is […]

I’ll be in Clovis at the end of August to attend my father-in-law’s 70th birthday gathering. I called him this morning to give him the heads up on today’s front-page story at the Los Angeles Times, “Wars Take a Heavy Toll on One California School.” He thanked me, although Clovis is a small town, and […]

It’s strange, since I was just listening to a 20 minute interview with Julian Assange yesterday at TED. I had planned to write about that as soon as this latest breaking news cycle winds down (JournoList, Shirley Sherrod, etc.), and now we’ve got the release of the Afghanistan war logs, which had been expected. Yeah, […]

It’s not everyday that MSM outlets correct their bogus “racist” slurs against the tea parties, but the New York Times made a correction today to one recent report. The full story is over at my place: “Correcting the New York Times.” And as always, all the hot commentary and analysis – and watchdog reporting – […]

I’m about half way through C. Bradley Thompson’s new book, Neoconservatism: An Obituary for an Idea. Yeah, it’s an attack on neoconservatism, by one who was sympathetic to the ideology at one time. It’s an excellent read, although I disagree with its conclusions, and it’ll take me some thinking to put those disagreements in more […]

It’s amusing that Charles Johnson, who was once perhaps the country’s lead anti-jihad blogger, has done a 180 degree turn, and is now an apologist for radical Islam. Here’s his post today (at a Google-safe link): “An Interview with the Lead Developer of Park51.” C.J. smears Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer (and their supporters) as […]

At Chicago Ray’s, “Canadian CF-15 Pilot Escapes Death Ejecting Moments before Fiery Air Show Practice Mishap…” And at Boston’s WCVB TV, “Jet Crashes During Air Show Practice: Canadian Pilot Able To Eject Before Aircraft Hit Runway“: LETHBRIDGE, Alberta — A Canadian air force jet crashed and exploded in a ball of flames during a training […]

I’m looking forward to reading it: The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War on America. Cross-posted from American Power.

It’s loaded with all kinds of screencaps and what not, so check it out over at my place: “Daily Beast‘s Brian Ries Wallows in Sarah Palin Facebook Attack.” As always, get all your hot blogging at American Power.

See, “Report by the Joint Defense Science Board and the Threat Reduction Advisory Committee Task Force.” And the related discussion thread here: The United States is now woefully unprepared for any kind of nuclear attack … and the Obama administration has taken steps to further reduce the nation’s nuclear arsenal. The problem and the cause […]

“I actually expect this to be my final public comment on the subject.” Famous last words, from JournoList head-henchman Ezra Klein. Now the Boy Wonder’s got another post up attacking — wait for it!! — Tucker Carlson for “smearing” JournoList with omissions and misleading statements and — Oh, the humanity!! So, what better way to […]

Been busy today with a few posts, in reverse chronological order: * “‘Not All Journalists Are Jerks’ – And Then There’s JournoList.” * “Letter From Editor-in-Chief Tucker Carlson.” * “Shirley Sherrod May Sue for Defamation: ‘Andrew Breitbart Came at Me’.” * “The Vast Left-Wing Media Conspiracy.” * “Terry Moran on ‘Nightline’ – ‘A Kind of […]

“Despite the lawsuits, the controversies and the occasional hatemail, blogging has been a highlight of my life over the past decade.” Kathy bears a close relationship (of the matrimonial kind) to my old-time blog buddy Blazing Cat Fur. HAT TIP: Glenn Reynolds. Cross-posted from American Power.

A new post up, with big screencaps and strong words, so better just send readers over to my place: “JournoListers Rejoice in Their Evil.” As always, more commentary and analysis at American Power.

They call ’em the “Tan Klan.” Check the links (via Memeorandum): * “Racist Latino Group Harasses Tea Party: “You’re Too White. Go Back to Europe.” (Video).” * “Latino KKK Member To Tea Partier: “You’re Too White, Go Back To Europe.” * “Racist Mexican Group the “Brown Berets” Chant to Tea Party: “Your White, Go Back […]

Full story at the link — and featuring a teaser-tweet from Andrew Breitbart … lots more in store for tomorrow!!

Last night’s post is here: “Sarah Palin’s 2012 Ground Game.” I need to augment my main suggestion (avoid “The Hillary Complex“) with the additional notation on the use of dictionaries and spellcheck as needed: RELATED: “Palin invents word ‘refudiate,’ compares herself to Shakespeare” (via Memeorandum). Cross-posted from American Power.

The clip is pretty astounding, listening to this woman, Shirley Sherrod, USDA Georgia Director of Rural Development, confess she would be less likely to help a man — a white man who needed help for his farm — on account of his race. In fact, this makes me sick to my stomach. I’ll let readers […]

The timing’s particularly interesting. From Germany’s GQ, “Lindsay Lohan Topless In German GQ.” (And click here if you don’t read German.) A phenomenal video clip is here: “Lindsay Lohan in German GQ.” She’s a very sexy woman, but she needs to recover and resolve her legal issues. RELATED: “Lindsay Lohan checks into rehab before 90-day […]

Great reporting at American Power! Picked up by Andrew Bolt and Instapundit! (ADDED: And Power Line!) See, “Calling New York Times: Congressman John Lewis was NOT ‘Showered With Hateful Epithets Outside the Capitol’ Last March.” Get all your latest scoops at American Power!

This essay appears tonight exclusively at Right Wing News, and will run tomorrow at American Power. ********** Just barely a year ago I published “Can Palin Win the 2012 GOP Nomination?” I laid out what I considered the necessary prerequisites for Sarah Palin’s emergence as viable, top-tier candidate for the nomination in 2012. The very […]

The background story is here, “France fears widespread rioting as youths rampage after police shoot robber.” Other than that is mainly bloggers reporting on this, surprise. See Jihad Watch, “Muslims rioting in France, burning cars over killing of Muslim casino robber who shot at cops,” and Gateway Pundit, “Disgruntled Muslim Youths Now Using Automatic Weapons […]

I’m sending folks over to my place to check it out. One serious post: “‘Is There Anything You Can Do to Stop Them’.” And one mocking: “Selective Comment Moderation at Lawyers, Gays and Money – NTTAWWT!!” Also related, unfortunately: “Radical Leftist Arrested for Assault With a Deadly Weapon and Assault on Military Personnel.”
