The big surprise in regards to Iran rejecting the UN’s notion that they need to be transparent with their nuclear program will be the UN actually doing something about it if they don’t come clean.
China and Russia agreed to this resolution after they took the teeth out of it. If Iran doesn’t not comply, the [...]

Acknowledgement from the Axis of Right on the death of President Ronald Reagan’s former Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger who succumbed to illness at age 88. He was instrumetnal in America’s hot pursuit of commies in Latin America, proposing that a Latin American “domino” effect might take place if that region was left unchecked (it nearly [...]

Critics of term limits are uneasy because almost half of Nebraska’s legislature is about to be term-limited. They fear that new legislators will be easily swayed by lobbyists and will require time to learn about the legislative process.
I find the turnover refreshing. Entrenched politicians often lose touch with the real world. I don’t say that [...]

Democrat Bob Casey still leads Senator Santorum but his lead is shrinking. Up 16 points one month ago, Casey’s lead is down to 10 in the latest Rasmussen poll, 48-38. What I find most striking in this poll again is that Santorum’s numbers aren’t climbing all that much but Casey’s are dropping. The latest squawking [...]

This is what a protest should look like. 100,000 people marching steadfastly for a cause they strongly believe in. They didn’t even have to sell their soul to International ANSWER (no, I’m not linking to them!) or NARAL (not going there either!). They actually look somewhat kempt as well. A decent group, even if I [...]

I just finished Thomas PM Barnett’s second book, Blueprint for Action, a book on geopolitics and the changing nature of warfare in the 21st Century, when I segued into another light read, The Cold War: A New History, by John Lewis Gaddis. I highly recommend the Barnett book, and I do like the succinct nature [...]

Apparently, the Russians were privy to certain aspects of America’s plans during the first phase of Operation Iraq Freedom and probably shared them with Saddam before the assault on Baghdad.
I thought the Cold War was over? I thought Russia was an ally and Bush looked into the “soul” of Putin? Granted, the events in question [...]

Yesterday I wrote about Illegal Immigration and how it was a winning issue for Republicans. One of our loyal readers responded that the Republican Party needed the Hispanic vote to survive, as Hispanics will soon make up at least 20% of the U.S. Population. That comment, while well thought out and certainly valid from a [...]

I’ve been writing the last few days about Laura Ingraham’s comments on NBC’s Today Show. Now, Laura has come out with some very good advice for the President, on how he can turn around his second term. The key is to focus on the base that elected him and energize them for 2006 and 2008. [...]

Former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is accusing President Bush of oversimplifying today’s geopolitical situation. Claiming the notion of “good vs. evil” is not a strategy, Albright reveals that like so many on the left, she simply doesn’t get it. The successes of President Bush’s foreign policy are well known. His leadership has led [...]

Again ABC tried so very, very hard to actually print what was simply translated from those captured Saddam files. But they just couldn’t do it… not without trying to do the thinking for us!
They have to guide us through the excerpts, you know, just in case we actually took what it says to heart or [...]

Yesterday I wrote about the media-firestorm set off by Laura Ingraham’s appearance on the Today Show, in which she accused the MSM of something we all know, that they do not present the whole picture of what is going on in Iraq. Her statements have had such an impact that they have been the [...]

For the second time in a week, riots broke out in Paris during a job-law rally. The proposal included such controversial measures as allowing employers to fire employees within the first two years of their job.
The French government, taking it’s usual position of capitulation, immediately called for talks with the union in hopes of ending [...]

President Bush signed legislation today which permanently lifted Cold War trade sanctions imposed against the Ukraine. We’ve come a long way from the days when Ukraine was under the iron fist of the Soviet Union.
At that time, Ronald Reagan recognized the weaknesses of the USSR and applied pressure to its weak points, setting in motion [...]

Harry Reid is threatening to filibuster a new law that makes it tough on illegal immigrants. The bill, by Sen. Bill Frist, would criminalize illegal immigration and tighten security on the boarders, because the Judiciary committee is stalling on the issue. Reid wants:

heightened border enforcement
Guest Worker program
A Path to citizenship for those illegals who are [...]

Annie C. has drawn up an interesting narrative with regard to polls taken throughout the Bush Presidency. The Axis of Right and other sites have repeatedly pointed out that most polls far out from an election are inaccurate due to their over-sampling of Democrats and under-sampling of people who actually vote. Coulter takes a simpler [...]

Kansas will soon be taking fingerprints of people that are pulled over. These prints will not be stored, but will be run against a database instantly of fingerprints to see if the driver is “In the System”.
I posted earlier today on Civil Liberties vs. Legitimate criminal investigations and terrorism. This strikes me as very “Big [...]

David Souter: BEWARE!
Well, maybe not. New Hampshire has just passed a bill that basically says that there are limits on the reaches of eminent domain. I wish that they would have considered this AFTER they seized the future location of the “The Lost Liberty Hotel” that is currently being occupied by Justice Souter.
Sigh… I still [...]

The mainstream media is on the defensive. Their constant defeatism and focusing only on the negative aspects of Iraq is being exposed. It all began yesterday morning, with Laura Ingraham on NBC’s Today Show with David Gregory and James Carville, attacking what she saw as a bias in reporting on the war in Iraq:
The Today [...]

Part of the Democrats campaign strategy for 2006 will involve Democrat candidates attacking President Bush from military bases. Senator George Allen called this tactic “deplorable.” How right he is.
It’s also ironic. If the Democrats had their way, there would be no military bases to stand on. (paraphrasing Ronald Reagan). Throughout the 1980s they led the [...]

A group called “Move America Forward” has launched a new campaign to lobby the Senate to censure former President Jimmy Carter. I personally think that this is a brilliant idea. If a censure motion can be brought against President Bush for trying to protect us by spying on terrorists, one can be made that President [...]

Much has been made on the NSA wiretapping story regarding the need for National Security vs. the need to protect Civil Liberties and the Constitution. Readers of the Axis of Right know that I am in favor of the NSA Wiretapping of terrorists without a warrant for the purpose of stopping a terror attack, as [...]

President Bush is getting rave remarks for his speech today, and not just for the Helen Thomas smackdown. The President’s approval ratings would be much higher if he continued to use his bully pulpit. (They’d be higher, although still artificially low because the media would still oversample Democrats and unregistered voters). Nevertheless, 2006 would look [...]

President Bush took on Helen Thomas in a press briefing this afternoon, when she asked some rather in-your-face questions about Iraq, taking up talking points from the liberal blogosphere as fact. Bush was brilliant in his defense, making Helen look like a fool.
Time to retire, Helen.
Thanks to Drudge for the transcript.
