“Illegal aliens are killing more Americans than the Iraq war, says a new report from Family Security Matters that estimates some 2,158 murders are committed every year by illegal aliens in the U.S. The group says that number is more than 15 percent of all the murders reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in […]

After reading my column at Townhall, Lee Tabin sent me an email that included this line: Can you imagine how the media would treat an inexperienced albeit appealing senator like Obama if he were a Republican? Well, Lee, we already have an answer to that. The Republican in question was Dan Quayle. The media called […]

Many people assume that the Democrats’ opposition to the war on terrorism and their unwavering determination to undercut the war in Iraq are solely an outgrowth of their dislike of George Bush. While Bush Derangement Syndrome and raw political considerations certainly are part of the problem, you’ve got to understand that the modern Democratic Party […]

The conditions in Baghdad are rapidly improving because of the surge. In fact, things have gotten so much better, so quickly, that the mainstream is actually writing stories saying that the lack of violence may actually be a troubling sign — which brings us to a Time magazine story called, “Quiet in Baghdad. Too Quiet:” […]

“ACCORDING to my dictionary, the word “ally” comes from the Old French. Very Old French, I’d say. For the New French, the word has a largely postmodern definition of “duplicitous charmer who undermines you at every opportunity”. For the less enthusiastically obstructive NATO members, “ally” means “wealthy country with no military capability that requires years […]

The Bush Administration is regularly — and deservedly — thrashed for their pro-amnesty stance on illegal immigration and their lackadaisical stance on enforcing our immigration laws that was only changed by political pressure. Still, this, I like: Three top officials of a nationwide cleaning service were charged Thursday with fraud and tax crimes as part […]

According to the New York Times, American Liberty (is) at the Precipice because foreigners who want to kill Americans aren’t allowed to have a trial in an American court. Here’s the NYT reasoning, such as it is: In another low moment for American justice, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that detainees held at […]

“I think if we were to do what Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Murtha are suggesting, all we will do is validate the al-Qaida strategy. The al-Qaida strategy is to break the will of the American people … try to persuade us to throw in the towel and come home, and then they win because we […]

There is a renewed push in New York City to give non-citizen immigrants the right to vote in local elections. A bill that would grant permanent residents and other legal immigrants the right to vote in municipal elections has been stalled in the City Council since last year. “More than 50,000 adult noncitizen taxpayers in […]

Courtesy of the very popular Smirking Chimp blog, here’s a little window into liberal mindset. As you read these quotes from the front page of the website, keep in mind that these quotes come from the writers at the Smirking Chimp, not from the commenters. So, the sort of material you’re about to read will […]

“I just don’t like homosexuals. If you ask me, they’re all homosexuals in the Pudding. Hey, I was glad when that Pudding homosexual got killed in Philadelphia.” (Mr. Franken, a 1973 graduate of Harvard, was referring to Harvard’s Hasty Pudding theatrical club).” — Al Franken to the Harvard Crimson in 1976 via the Washington Times […]

Do you think this will make into, “An Inconvenient Truth Part 2: The Quickening?” Swarms of giant hornets renowned for their vicious stings and skill at massacring honeybees have settled in France. And there are now so many of the insects that entomologists fear it will just be a matter of time before they cross […]

On Saturday, I appeared on New Hampshire’s Meet the New Press to talk about my gig with the Duncan Hunter campaign. You can listen to a podcast of that appearance here. On Monday night at 11 PM, I did the Bruce Elliot show, which is on WBAL in Maryland. Ostensibly, I was on the show […]

From a column by Peter Bart via Hillary Spot: The aggressively photogenic John Edwards was cruising along, detailing his litany of liberal causes last week until, during question time, he invoked the “I” word — Israel. Perhaps the greatest short-term threat to world peace, Edwards remarked, was the possibility that Israel would bomb Iran’s nuclear […]

The total military dead in the Iraq war between 2003 and this month stands at about 3,133. This is tragic, as are all deaths due to war, and we are facing a cowardly enemy unlike any other in our past that hides behind innocent citizens. Each death is blazoned in the headlines of newspapers and […]

Public Opinion Strategies* has released a survey [PDF file here] of likely voters’ attitudes toward the Iraq War that finds that most voters think the country is going in the wrong direction (67%) and President Bush is doing a poor job (60%), and that Iraq will never be a stable democracy (60%). No real surprises […]

Could this skit have been better? Yes. Was it screamingly funny? Not really. But, it was still the best of the bunch, for whatever that’s worth.

Today, I ran across a website written by someone who appears to be to the right-of-center called, “Target of Opportunity — Eliminating the planet of liberals one at a time.” The website is just what it sounds like, a call to assassinate liberals and liberal groups, like Ward Churchill, Cindy Sheehan, and members of CodePINK, […]

This week-end, the WAPO did a story on how wounded soldiers flown back to the states and treated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center are finding that the hospital is unorganized, indifferent, and drowning in red tape. Here’s some of what the troops are going through (Hopefully the attention this story is getting will jolt […]

From Fredricksburg.com: “According to a Fredericksburg police report, the suspect went to a home in the 900 block of Marye Street about 5:30 p.m. after finding one of the resident’s name on a Republican Web site.
