Welcome to sunny, wonderful, exotic Cancun, where the water is warm, the drinks are cool, and airports are very busy! Via Campesina will bring 4,000 Mexicans — indigenous peoples, farmers and their allies to Cancun, and a few hundred from the Global South. The Bolivian government is flying in 90 people, and Venezuela is flying […]
Something seems to be missing from their idea regarding what the Internet should be about, though Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski is moving forward with a net neutrality order at the agency’s December meeting, setting the stage for a likely fight over the contentious web rules on Capitol Hill. Genachowski released the agenda for […]
Because I used to work for an ISP wholesaler, I tend to have a little bit of a different viewpoint about terrorist groups and organizations that are hostile to America, like Wikileaks, being hosted on American servers: WikiLeaks, the website that published a quarter-million sensitive diplomatic cables on Sunday, is using Amazon.com Inc. servers in […]
The Pentagon’s out with a report on gays in the military that’s actually significantly less positive than it’s being portrayed by people who favor ending Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell: The Pentagon has concluded that allowing gay men and women to serve openly in the United States armed forces presents a low risk to the military’s […]
In but a few hours I’ll be headed to Chicago’s O’Hare airport to wing my way to sunny Cancun to do a few days reporting on the U.N. Climate Change Summit. As is my luck in life, sunny Cancun will be rainy Cancun if the weatherman is to be believed. Of course, weather reports aren’t […]
For all their kvetching about hypocrisy, most politicized liberals in this country have an incredibly hypocritical attitude towards Christianity. Of course, finding a liberal politico who hasn’t completely bastardized his Christian beliefs to make them compatible with liberalism or believes enough in Christianity to actually stand up for it when it’s being slandered by other […]
Liberals allow themselves to turn the: truth: upside down, inside out and out of sight when they: have money to make: for their “cause.” : Heavens: and earth shall: be moved if “they” determine to “right” a wrong.: So try to envision the many layers of hypocrisy going on right now in Cancun, Mexico, where every liberal or liberal “pet project” […]
Tomorrow night is the first night of Hanukkah, Chanukah and/or Hannuka ,the Jewish holiday that is spelled a hundred ways in English. Along with the joy of the holiday is the sadness that this minor holiday is continually hijacked by the ACLU and other liberal groups who have no idea what the holiday means. It […]
Runner-up headline: How’s that ‘Sanctuary City’ thingamabob working out? The California residents who elected Jerry Brown should be overjoyed at tomorrow’s news story in the Wall Street Journal: 40,000 state convicts were ordered released so that they can roam the streets. A three-judge panel in a California federal district court ruled in January that overcrowding […]
I made a quick video related to the Daily Caller’s reporting on this issue. It appears ACORN received your taxpayer dollars for ‘fire protection.’ It is pretty absurd.
As the Democrat Party’s rapid descent into ultra-radicalism proves, the Cold War isn’t over by a long shot. Mark Ritchie, the Minnesota Secretary of State who took a Senate seat away from Norm Coleman and handed it to the obnoxious left-wing comedian Al Franken, is affiliated not only with Obama’s ACORN, but with the Communist […]
The Grassroot Institute of Hawaii is starting a new effort to spotlight wasteful government spending in the Aloha State and one of the central parts of this program is a new website that the group promises will, “revolutionize government accountability in Hawaii by revealing waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars at the state and […]
The Southern Poverty Law Center used to be an organization that targeted hate groups. They let people know what these groups believed, catalogued their activities, and generally kept a watchful eye on them. Today, the Southern Poverty Law Center is an organization that targets conservatives and as a sideline, also dabbles in tracking hate groups. […]
Imagine, if you will, talking with someone who is demanding that the government force you to lose 40 pounds in the next two weeks. When you ask how this can possibly be accomplished, he talks about making a few minor changes. Maybe you can walk up the stairs at work instead of taking the elevator […]
Harry Reid survived his brush with electoral death winning yet another term as Nevada’s Senator. Reid knows what side of his bread is buttered, too. Big Labor gave him millions in campaign donations and Reid knows who he owes — or rather who owns him. Now that he’s fairly won he’s promising his patrons in […]
As the list was revealed of 111 corporations and unions that got a free pass to get out of having to suffer under Obamacare given them by their bought-and-paid-for president, we see that the teachers really got a break. With over 350,000 members, the United Federation of Teachers is one of the largest organizations on […]
William Kristol seconds that emotion. At the video, Julian Assange’s communist enablers at Democracy Now! And see John Hawkins, “5 Reasons The CIA Should Have Already Killed Julian Assange.” RELATED: “The Classical Liberal: Israel Bashing Paleocon?“
After reading through the Wikileaks stories and seeing this story, I think the spy novels we read, and the spy movies we see aren’t really that fictional. The U.S. believes that Iran is developing a nuclear warhead. Iran insists it’s all for peaceful purposes. We all know that is a lie though. This is so […]
The Washington Post highlights the potential change in tactics by the alarmists (in order to continue on the path for more control of people and economies, along with redistribution of wealth, especially to their own pockets, ala Al Gore) Many policymakers and business leaders have come to see the most basic method of slowing global […]
Wikileaks’ deliberate disclosure of these diplomatic cables is nothing less than an attack on the national security of the United States, as well as that of dozens of other countries. By disseminating these materials, Wikileaks is putting at risk the lives and the freedom of countless Americans and non-Americans around the world. — Joe Lieberman […]
At the clip below, with Donald Kirk of the Christian Science Monitor. He speaks toward the end on the extreme dangers of a military overthrow in North Korea, especially a refugee crisis. Interesting how these dangers are raised primarily in the context of outside intervention, and not in the case of an implosion of the […]
Finally a Wikileaks document that surprising. According to some of the leaked State Department documents, China is growing increasingly frustrated by the military antics of North Korea and and increasingly favors reunified Korea under the Government of South Korea. Now that it has become a world power, the Chinese government wants one thing more than […]
The threat of an EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) attack on the country is something the United States is not prepared for, according to a recent report by two national experts for : the Heritage Foundation.
The guy who runs new media for the TLC show, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” asked me and Bobby over at the Tubular blog to do a podcast with them for the website. They liked the whole “red team vs. blue team” thing. It should be up tonight. I’ll link it then. He asked some really good […]
Somali-born Mohamed Osman Mohamud thought he was serving Islam’s evil god by killing hundreds of innocent Americans at a Christmas tree-lighting celebration in Portland. Actually, all he was doing was walking into an FBI trap — and inspiring affection and spittle-spewing moonbattery among commenters at the largest liberal blog, Huffington Post. A few samples: MNmommy […]
In liberal Oregon, how do the authorities react to a Muslim attempt to murder hundreds of innocent families at a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony? But protecting Muslims, naturally: Patrols around mosques and other Islamic sites in Portland have been stepped up as Muslim leaders expressed fears of retribution, days after a Somali-American man was accused of […]
Unions in America really are under assault from every direction. Certainly they are still powerful and not to be under estimated, but unions really have lost much of the power they once had. At less than 20 percent of the work force these days, the unions that are left have been finding themselves being forced […]
Remember how Obama said that if you liked your healthcare plan you could keep it? Apparently someone forgot to tell the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) in New York because they’ve announced that Obamacare is forcing them to drop coverage for the children of its 30,000 low-wage members. The union will be dropping coverage for […]
You right wingnuts keep using that phrase, and Karen Tumulty of the Washington Post has a problem with that Is this a great country or what? “American exceptionalism” is a phrase that, until recently, was rarely heard outside the confines of think tanks, opinion journals and university history departments. But with Republicans and tea party […]
Powerline makes an interesting observation The New York Times is participating in the dissemination of the stolen State Department cables that have been made available to it in one way or another via WikiLeaks. My friend Steve Hayward recalls that only last year the New York Times ostentatiously declined to publish or post any of […]
