From Mark Levin, “Far more relevant, consequential and disturbing is the behavior of the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, who by word and action is actively undermining our fighting men and women in Iraq. His legislative efforts to starve our armed forces in the middle of a war are as contemptible as anything I’ve witnessed […]

Liberals support the troops? How can that be when they’re actually running the troops off campus? “UC Santa Cruz anti-war activists are claiming victory, saying their repeated efforts to keep military recruiters off campus have paid off.

I bet this had members of Al-Qaeda high fiving all across the world, “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says time has already run out for a military solution.

After we read about a serial killer or mass murderer, the first question people always ask is, “Why?” What set him off? Why did he kill all those innocent people?

There has been some speculation on the right that Seung Hui Cho could be a jihadi because he had “Ismail AX” on his arm. Here’s Jerry Bower at TCS Daily expounding on this theory, “This morning I read that the Virginia Tech shooter died with the name Ismail Ax written in red ink on his […]

If you asked most people to name the most corrupt state in the union, New Jersey would probably be dogfighting with Louisiana for the top slot. Things like this aren’t going to help “joisey’s” reputation one bit, “Former Gov. James E. McGreevey is teaching ethics, law and leadership at Kean University. The Star-Ledger of Newark […]

Supposedly, NBC “struggled” with the decision about whether to air a video sent to them by Cho Seung-Hui. On the one hand, they had an exclusive “scoop” that would bring them huge ratings if they chose to show it and on the other hand, they knew that by showing the video, they risked encouraging other […]

If you’ve been reading the papers and you have spotty knowledge of history, you might be forgiven for thinking that the shootings this week were the “worst mass murder in U.S. history.” If you’re a journalist with a lot on your plate, you may have forgotten the mass murder of September 11, 2001, which left […]

Even Rush Limbaughh is saying that there’s an 80% chance that Hillary is going to be elected in 2008, but no one seems to have told the American people how much they love her, “In the latest (Gallup) poll, conducted April 13-15, 2007, more Americans say they have an unfavorable (52%) than a favorable view […]

Republicans don’t like breathing dirty air and drinking polluted water any more than other people despite what you may hear from the left, so why doesn’t the GOP get the credit that we deserve for taking care of the environment? Simple. Because the people on the left, in the environmentalist movement, care more about the […]

“People have been calling for national dialogues and conversations for decades. It usually works something like this: Liberals say we need a frank discussion about race (or class or gender) in this country, and then they proceed to bludgeon any conservative stupid enough to take them up on their offer.” — Jonah Goldberg

Back in 2000, when partial birth abortion came in front of the Supreme Court, Sandra Day O’Connor sided with the liberals on the court to overrule Congress and prevent the ban from being enacted. But, Samuel Alito is sitting in her spot and the Constitution actually prevailed over liberal political doctrine this time around. So, […]

I didn’t even know that there was an Asian American Journalists Association, but had I known that it existed, I would have suspected that it was run by liberals like just about every other bastion of mainstream journalism in the country.

“In fact, some mass shootings have been stopped by armed citizens.

Likewise, Pearl, Miss., school shooter Luke Woodham was stopped when the school’s vice principal took a .45 […]

Barack Obama has an interesting take on the Virginia Tech massacre. Apparently, it’s all part of a larger theme of people just not being nice to each other and just by coincidence, his standard campaign points are just right for addressing all this violence. Ben Smith has the details and a link to the audio […]

Last night, from about 8 PM on, I was a little under the weather. So, from there on out until this morning about 9:30, I was in bed recovering. Now, I’m up and back to work, but behind. So, there will be updates today, but they will be slower than usual. Sorry ’bout that!

We have an American soldier being tried in absentia in Italy for an event we don’t consider to be a crime in the United States, “A U.S. soldier went on trial in absentia in Italy on Tuesday accused of killing an Italian intelligence agent in Iraq, but his lawyer said his client would reject the […]

Whenever a horrible event like the massacre at Va Tech occurs, a lot of people immediately start looking for a scapegoat.

Yesterday, Joseph Palermo over at the Huffington Post was trying to tie the shootings at Virginia Tech into Bush via the war in Iraq, “Also, if David Brooks and the Rightwing can blame video games and the violent movies coming out of Hollywood for the school shootings, then I think it is also fair to […]
