Jihadis Killed in Clash With IDF Near Gaza

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

I hate to interrupt our Memorial Day observations, but this news story is too immediate to ignore. The Old Media is already misreporting the bloody incident off the Gaza coast between a flotilla of Muslim “peace activists” and the Israeli Defense Force. They are, of course, making Israel out to be the bad guys and […]

 

Memorial Day Post: The Warriors Among Us

Posted on by Bookworm

Several years ago, as part of a 9/11 commemoration, I wrote the following words in connection with a post I did about Lt. Brian Ahearn, one of the New York fire fighters who perished on that day: My son, who is seven, is obsessed with superheroes. His current favorite is Superman. After all, when you’re […]

 

Obama Admin and Democrats Kowtow to Other Countries While Scorning Those Who Have Died For Ours

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

In the past week, the Obama administration and fellow Democrats have let their true feelings for America known more than ever before. Well, at least more blatantly. They aren’t even bothering to hide it now and have lost all shame. No longer content with merely worshipping at the altar of multiculturalism, they are now going […]

 

What’s Cut from Obama’s West Point Speech Says Much About Him

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Drudge has an interesting little snippet concerning President Obama’s recent speech before the graduating class at West Point. It is a short headline about what was cut from Obama’s speech, a cut that really says a lot about the arrogance of team Obama as well as his utter lack of spontaneity and sincerity and his […]

 

Congress Says There’ll Be No Illinois Gitmo

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In an interesting development the House Armed Services Committee unanimously approved of legislation that would block Gitmo, Illinois from coming to fruition. In fact, they’ve blocked any Gitmo terrorist from being transferred anywhere into the interior of the USA. This is a blow to Obama’s desires to shut Gitmo down and to bring terrorists to […]

 

Comrade Obama Sends His Love to Our Troops

Posted on by Dave Blount

No one makes greater sacrifices for our country and the principles of liberty it embodies than the brave men and women of our military. In return, our liberal rulers heap scorn on them — starting from the very top. Comrade Obama’s latest Supreme Court choice — the ultra-Left’s answer to Harriet Miers — has the […]

New Navy Ship to be Named After General Benedict Arnold

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Veterans and citizens both have become alarmed at the Navy’s plans to name a new amphibious ship after disgraced Revolutionary War General Benedict Arnold. The Navy’s newest vessel, a 684-foot, San Antonio class landing-ship, will be named the USS Benedict Arnold said Navy officials. Arnold was initially a hero of the Revolution before turning against […]

 

Obama and His Administration Lament America’s Superpower Status

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

Yesterday at his nuclear conference, Obama said the following (via Gateway Pundit): “Whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower.” Whether we like it or not. That’s like what Mommies say when telling you to eat your yucky vegetables. Would he prefer that we be vulnerable and weak? Heck of an […]

 

Obama Signals Enemies that Nuking U.S. Is A’OK With Him

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

President Obama is known for bowing to foreign dictators, emperors and Kings but it is such a chore to do it individually. Flying around the world to bow to each killer, oppressor, and tyrant is so time consuming. If only he had a way to do it to every American enemy at once it would […]

 

This Just In, Liberals Are Murderers

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston What is it that the extremists of the anti-war left, liberals, and Democrats say about the U.S. practice of capturing and detaining terror suspects? Don’t they say that it is wrong and evil? To that end, the left has through constant abuse of our own legal system made it practically untenable […]

 

Obama Orders Army NOT To Fly U.S. Flag in Haiti

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

It’s bad enough that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is giving short shrift to American manufacturers and our economy by ordering extravagant new crystal stemware from Sweden to make the crystal cabinets in America’s embassies sparkle impressively, but now we learn that Barack Obama has told the U.S. relief forces in Haiti not to fly […]

 

Lefty Dupe Says Pentagon Isn’t Part of the Government

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

Americans for Prosperity has this hilarious slice of lefty disconnect that is just so typical of how folks on the left really just don’t have a grasp on rarity. Just outside of Blair House, across the street from the White House at the corner of 17th St & Pennsylvania Ave., we see young lady from […]

 

Liz Cheney: Biden Has Famously Tenuous Relationship With Reality

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I had the great privilege of meeting Liz Cheney and hearing her speak at the Red State convention in Atlanta this past August. She’s surprisingly tiny, but, in that small package, is an incredible mind and a hell of a backbone. I adore her and am so glad to see she is becoming an increasingly […]

 

Obama, In Charge of Military, Can’t Pronounce Their TITLES

Posted on by Lori Ziganto

I’m pretty sure Obama knows it’s not Peace : Corpse or Obama Youth Corpse, yet he doesn’t know how to pronounce corpsman properly. : He read corpsman as corpse-man in his remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast. Telling. When Bush mispronounced nuclear, the left went bananas. It became someone he was bashed for non-stop. Obama’s misspoken plenty […]

 

Poor excuse

Posted on by Ron Coleman

Did you hear about this travesty in Haiti? Earthquake victims, writhing in pain and grasping at life, watched doctors and nurses walk away from a field hospital Friday night after a Belgian medical team evacuated the area, saying it was concerned about security. The decision left CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta as the only […]

 

Rudy Flub Brings Out Vultures

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

For several days now the Old Media has been indulging in a steady attack on former Mayor Rudy Giuliani that tends to misdirect readers away from his criticism of President Obama. First by making what Giuliani said of Obama seem more adulatory than it was and second by focusing on a rather unexceptional remark that […]

 

The Ultra-Flexible WMD Definition

Posted on by Ed Driscoll

Despite finding saarin, mustard gas, and other chemical weapons, and despite various prison sentences for those who used them in Iraq or those who sold them, apparently, the only thing that would have satisfied the left that Saddam had WMDs would have been discovering a giant SPECTRE-sized Ken Adam-styled laboratory with men in white lab coats hard at work caught in the act. But as Elizabeth Blackney, AKA “Media Lizzy” notes on her Facebook page, my how the definition of WMDs has changed…
