Oof: Bergdahl’s Home Town Cancels Plans For Homecoming Celebration

They say it’s for “security reasons.” HAILEY, Idaho, June 4 (Reuters) — The hometown of U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl has canceled a rally planned for later this month celebrating his release from five years of Taliban captivity, a municipal official told Reuters on Wednesday, amid allegations that he was a deserter. Heather Dawson, the […]

Obama Official Implies Bowe Bergdahl Might Have Been Right to Desert

No wonder the ideologically insane Obama Regime apparently expected the public to be pleased that it had traded five terrorist commanders for a deserter and probable traitor. The people composing Obama’s bubble don’t see anything wrong with Bowe Bergdahl’s execution-worthy behavior. Check out some of the tweets from Brandon Friedman, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public […]

Border Patrol to Release 500 Illegal Immigrants Into the US Every Week

Here’s a question: what’s the point of having borders if we aren’t going to actually keep people out? Evidently, we aren’t just letting them break our laws anymore — no, we’re actually helping illegal immigrants enter the United States, and at taxpayer expense, too. The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) revealed to Breitbart Texas that […]

Obama’s “Carbon” Plan: Killing Jobs, Costing Americans Money

I’m still not that concerned with Obama’s climate change plan: there is a low probability that it will actually be implemented. There will be too many lawsuits filed and fought. Republican led states, and perhaps energy states with Democrat leadership, will blow the regulations off. A GOP president starting in 2017 will roll the regs […]

Team Obama “Surprised” By Bergdahl Reaction

One does have to wonder what was going through the heads of Obama and the people working for him regarding the prisoner swap that released 5 hardcore Islamists, high ranking members of the Taliban, in exchange for a soldier who deserted, and possibly gave aid and comfort to the enemy. Defense and CIA were overruled, […]

Bowe Bergdahl, Just Deserts

Death Penalty Month at anncoulter.com has already been interrupted by the psycho in Santa Barbara, and now it’s being interrupted by the Buddhist in Bagram. Keeping to the spirit of Death Penalty Month, let’s review the execution of Pvt. Eddie Slovik. Slovik’s offense: desertion in wartime. (See the tie-in?) Unlike Bowe Bergdahl, who deserted his […]

The troubling plight of the modern university

  Employment rates for college graduates are dismal. Aggregate student debt is staggering. But university administrative salaries are soaring. The campus climate of tolerance has utterly disappeared. Only the hard sciences and graduate schools have salvaged American universities’ international reputations.   For over two centuries, our superb system of American public and private higher education […]

The Bergdahl Deal — Five Terrorists For a ‘Deserter’?

The Washington Times reports that the Pentagon pretty much knew the whereabouts of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in recent years. So why didn’t they rescue him? Quoting a former intelligence official, the Times said: “Military commanders were loath to risk their people to save this guy. They were loath to pick him up and, because of […]

Curbing Carbon Vs. Rationalizing Recklessness

Rousing the public to do something about the growing federal debt is not easy. The dangers it poses are distant and vague. The immediate effects are not apparent. Any measure to cut deficits looks trivial next to the scale of the problem. Doing nothing is the easiest option. But responsible adults understand the need to […]

D-Day is dumb day for too many

Given the numerous studies revealing how American education lags behind instruction in other countries in disciplines once thought to be essential, it should come as no surprise that on the 70th anniversary of D-Day, a lot of people are clueless about central elements of the Allied invasion of the European continent on June 6, 1944.

Our culture behind Wisconsin girls’ stabbing case

What kind of culture produced those two 12-year-old Wisconsin girls charged with stabbing a classmate 19 times? Our culture. The 12-year-olds were charged as adults. Police said they wanted to kill their classmate so they could cement a pact with an evil, fictional character that lives only on the Internet. We won’t know for some […]

Soldiers Feared Bergdahl Was Feeding Taliban Intel: “IEDs Started Going Off Directly Under The Trucks, They Were Getting Perfect Hits Every Time”

So, we know he’s a deserter. : The question is, was he an enemy collaborator too? : Some suspect so: Buetow was involved in the immediate search for Bergdahl, pushing a patrol into a nearby local village. “Immediately as we left the base, two small boys walked up to us, and they told us that they saw […]

Father of Medal of Honor soldier killed in Afghanistan says ‘deserter’ Bowe Bergdahl shouldn’t be called a hero ‘if he turned his back on his unit’

Who is going to argue with a Gold Star Father of a Medal of Honor winner? The father of a soldier killed in Afghanistan and posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor – the nation’s highest military award – has said POW Bowe Bergdahl should not be branded a ‘hero’. In a powerful statement Philip Miller, […]

V. Stiviano Also Said Weird, Racist Stuff on Tape

After “outing” her boss to the world as a racist with a secretly recorded phone conversation, old video has emerged of Donald Sterling’s would-be girlfriend, V. Stiviano, also making racially charged statements. A video from 2011 has re-emerged made by Sterling’s “helper” as an audition for a failed reality show about gold digger women. On […]
