Whether it’s because they’re engaging in wishful thinking, trying to please our European & Arab “allies”, or just because they’re trying to come across as impartial, most politicians, the Bush administration included, usually sound like they have no idea what’s really going on in Israel. Anyone who’s paying attention knows that Israel is going to […]

It’s entertaining to watch the Democrats who’re actually interested in winning elections duke it out with the rabid lefties want the candidate to be a mirror image of them — even it causes the party to go down the tubes. In any case, there’s a lot of good news for Republicans in this article… “Dramatic […]

It seemed like such a simple idea — I’d just switch RWN over to a new host — one with a fully functional MySQL database that doesn’t continually crash like my old host’s database did. The next thing ya know, it turns into the worst disaster since Ted Kennedy got drunk and decided to go […]

In the wake of the attack earlier this week that left Uday and Qusay Hussein dead, many in America’s academic community came forward to encourage the remaining supporters of Saddam Hussein to “look past their anger” and try to discover the “root causes” of the American attack. Said Middle East correspondent and professional idiotarian Robert […]

While the controversy that this article discusses is infuriating, it obscures the deeper issue… “A group of Oberlin parents is adamant that one type of person should never teach their children about African-American history. A white person. These parents are furious that a scheduling conflict might cause administrators to reassign the black teacher who has […]

RWN has been redesigned and I think you’ll find there are quite a few improvements like… — A search feature that will allow you to look for particular news posts. — Archives by category. — User/pass required to post in the comments section. — A “retro” section where I’ll link older RWN articles that are […]

An Interview With Congressman Tom Tancredo (R – CO): I did an interview via phone on Friday night with congressman Tom Tancredo while he was at the airport.

Publicity & Props From Hugh Hewitt, MSNBC, & Michael Graham: Hugh Hewitt said this (among other things) about the interview I did with him… “My interview with John Hawkins of RightWingNews brought a small surge in purchases of In, But Not Of, driving it back into the top 2,000…” When Mark Steyn’s stenographer told me […]

So Which Is It — Are Our Intelligence Agencies Too Aggressive Or Not Aggressive Enough?: The American left is wildly inconsistent & hypocritical on a number of issues, one of them being how they say our intelligence agencies should have acted before 9/11 & in the build-up to the war in Iraq.

The Web Really Does Bring People Together…To Eat Each Other: Just when you think the internet can’t get any weirder, you see something like this… “Berlin – “Are you max 30 years old, with a normal body, then you are just right for me. I want to slaughter you and consume your delicious flesh. “Please […]

Misc. Commentary: Here are some things I wanted to mention that probably weren’t quite developed enough to merit their own posts… — Judging by these numbers, Germany is nation full of raving moonbats… “Almost one in three Germans below the age of 30 believes the U.S. government may have sponsored the September 11, 2001, attacks […]

Survey: Many Germans Believe U.S. Sponsored Hitler By Scott Ott: About a third of young Germans believe the United States attacked itself on September 11, 2001, and that Adolf Hitler was a Cleveland-born foreign exchange student sponsored by the FBI.

10 Books That Had An Impact On Me While I Was In High School & College: I was (and still am) a voracious reader and I thought it might be interesting to share some of the books that really stuck with me as I was growing up. Keep in mind that I wouldn’t necessarily recommend […]

For those of you who are unfamiliar with his work, Hewitt is a regular columnist for World Net Daily & the Weekly Standard. He also has a syndicated radio show that currently runs on 42 stations.

Iraq Today Vs. Postwar Germany: James Taranto found something I’ve been looking for all over the web, info about casualties and resistance in post WW2 Germany. Contrary to what the hysterical anti-war lefties would have you believe, the fact that we’re seeing resistance is nothing new. Here’s some info on the Nazi Werewolf guerilla movement […]

“Wimpiness” Vs “Machismo” In 2004: Is it just me or are the Democrats really coming off as an even bigger group of weenies than usual lately?

Post Of The Day From The Democratic Underground — I Wish Queasy And Duh-day Were Still Alive: Although there was a mixed (mostly negative) reaction to this statement on DU, I really wonder if this was a relatively common reaction among the hardcore anti-Bushies that they’re too embarassed to admit in public… thermodynamic: Doesn’t a […]

No More ‘Catch & Release’ For Illegal Aliens?: Our country is not and has not been serious about fighting illegal immigration. We don’t devote adequate staff and resources to patrolling our borders, we haven’t cracked down on businesses that hire illegals, many states coddle illegal aliens and their children by giving them benefits that should […]

Is History Sexist?: Meryl Yourish (among other people) got a bit huffy because no woman ranked in the top 20 Greatest Figures In American History article that went up yesterday.

A Quasi-Movie Review Of ’28 Days Later’: There were two things that jumped out at me about ’28 Days Later’ — a film right out “Night of the Living Dead” school of horror. The movie starts off with some animal rights whackos breaking into a lab and freeing a virus infected monkey. That monkey then […]

Know Thy Enemy — North Koreans By Frank J: I just realized I’ve never done a Know Thy Enemy(tm) segment on the North Koreans. If we ever have to fight them, it’s likely my brother, Joe foo’ the Marine, will have to go out there. I don’t want him to get killed, because, if he […]
