Writing on the British marines being held in Iran, Victor Davis Hanson explains why “there is now no NATO, no EU, no U.N. that can or will do anything in anyone’s hour of need.” Coming from one of the world’s preeminent military historians, the message needs to reverberate around Europe and rattle around in the […]

The powerline guys have made an audio available of their interview with the author of a new book on the global warming controversy. Here are the details: During the second hour of Saturday’s radio show, we interviewed Dennis Avery, co-author of Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years. It was a good conversation, with up to […]

Earlier this week we wrote that Democrats are accomplices to evil. Read this letter from Gunnery Sgt. Stephen F. Krueger, and you’ll see that Democrats are also accomplices to murder. Scott at powerline, commenting on Krueger’s letter, says, “It is indeed a sad moment in American history when those who are putting their lives on […]

(Hat tip: “Chavez Vows Collectivization”) Poor Venezuela. We’re surprised that Hugo Chavez hasn’t hired Lego ladies Ann Pelo and Kendra Pelojoaquin as consultants for his latest grand, socialist initiative: Collective Property. If nothing else, it would be a great opportunity for the teachers from Hilltop Children’s Center to see how their social justice learning principles […]

Legos — Building blocks for social inequality or tools of collectivist indoctrination? Way back on March 7, we had this story on the bizarre experiment in “social justice learning” from Seattle’s Hilltop Children’s Center in which Legos were banned until the kids could be re-programmed to play in a collectivist-correct way. Well, the story is […]

Here’s the letter from a group of distinguished, Constitutional scholars to the Democrat’s Congressional Leaders on the Constitutional Problems with Congress’s Attempted Micromanagement of the War. Sean Hannity read most of this letter on his radio show, but the only copy that we’ve found online is this PDF version. So, we’ve taken the full text […]

Michelle Malkin has a great column today, The John Doe Manifesto. This is her response to the six, flying Imams who have threatened to sue the airline passengers who reported their suspicious activity. Also, note that the Congress is considering a Protect John Doe bill. I am John Doe. I will protest your Jew-hating, America-bashing […]

(Hat tip: HR) Sometime after it became clear that the “insurgents” in Iraq had no prayer of defeating the US military, they adopted the “mass murder of the men, women and children among one’s own people as a military tactic to defeat an external enemy.” So notes Dennis Prager in his article, “New Form of […]

Soldier signals “coercion” with his left-hand indicating that his time learning hand signals in survival school was well spent. What do you want to bet that he washed his hands in boiling bleach right after this photo was taken? We love this picture. It is symbolic of the fact that Hillary Clinton despises the troops, […]

We saw this dismal report yesterday and discussed it with HR. If you take medication for depression, you may want to double-up on it before continuing because these statistics are disturbing. From “The Great Redistribution Machine” (NOTE: The Washington-based Tax Foundation’s new report is here). The Tax Foundation folks grouped together all federal, state, and […]

In the most unsurprising news of the week, Hillary Clinton has revealed that, as president, she will implement socialized medicine in this country. Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton vowed Monday to create a universal health care system if elected, saying she “learned a lot” during the failed health care effort of her husband’s presidency. […]

Michael Barone’s essay, “Gore’s Faith Is Bad Science,” notes what happens when completely self-absorbed members of the gimme generation “discover” religion in their later years. It’s a bad combination. The natural human yearning for spirituality has produced in many people educated in secular-minded universities and enveloped in an atmosphere of contempt for traditional religion a […]

(Hat tip: slashdot) Check out this fascinating article on tetrachromats — women able to process colors from four, distinct sensors (cones) instead of the three found in most humans (and all men). The article, “Some women may see 100 million colors, thanks to their genes,” notes that “2 percent to 3 percent of the world’s […]

Last September, we revealed this secret barbecue recipe for the best damned southern pork barbecue you will ever eat. In the intervening winter months, we’ve grilled plenty of dogs, burgers, steaks and chicken, but the only new grill recipe we’ve developed is an amazing brine-smoked turkey. But that’s another column. Spring is in full bloom […]

What is going on in Minnesota with Muslim taxi drivers who refuse to transport alcohol, Muslim clerks who refuse to scan pork products like pepperoni pizza, and Muslim imams on a multi-pronged airline mission: test the limits of the “system,” test its awareness and readiness, intimidate it, and sue it into impotence. Like the Velociraptors […]

While reading at Bill Bennett’s web site, I found this poem, “When.” Take time to share it with a America-hating, deranged liberal. “When” by Wajeha al-Huwaider When you cannot find a single garden in your city, but there is a mosque on every corner – you know that you are in an Arab country. When […]
