November 2006

Mahmoud and Talabani reached a security “agreement” today whose details will be released sometime soon.  I’m all for Iraq making deals that it thinks is important, but Iran cannot be trusted.  Iran is plainly running for regional hegemon.  Only the American presence in Iraq, Israel’s continued existence, and that pesky nuclear issue gets in Mahmoud [...]

Chuck Schumer has declared an end to Reaganomics.  In terms of policy, Schumer is dead wrong.  Reaganomics is alive and well, hence our current prosperity.  As it relates to the 2006 election, Schumer is right.  Unfortunately it was the Republicans who killed it.  Since President Bush’s re-election, there has been no ongoing defense of our [...]

Former New Jersey Christie Whitman, who by default is looking better every day, argues that the Republican party cannot win another national election unless the party moves to the political center. She cites numerous moderate Republicans who were wiped out in a national Democrat wave to support her argument. Whitman could not [...]

A few days ago, I reported on a story where the New York Times was requesting intervention from the SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) for subpoenas regarding classified leaks.  Well, today as reported by Michelle Malkin, in a one-sentence non-dissenting ruling, the court refused to grant a stay.  Now, the Times will be [...]

Iraqi President Talabani met with the Iranian puppet-man, I mean President Ahmadinejad, in an attempt to reach out to Iraq’s neighbor who is quite obviously fomenting and funding the sectarian violence and militias in Iraq. Talabani’s act simply makes sense– a sovereign and calculated act by an independent Iraqi government looking out for its [...]

The American Left has always attempted to push its liberal agenda through the courts rather than through elected officials.  This is because the American people soundly reject liberalism whenever it is put forth in the Court of Public Opinion (this was one of the reasons for the 1994 electoral landslide the Republicans had). 
A new case [...]

I just today stumbled across a week-old column by Charles Krauthammer which is worth a read.  In it, Krauthammer examines Iraq, the Bush Doctrine of fighting terror through the spread of Democracy, and the Arab world’s receptiveness to a Democratic state.  He examines the causes of failure in Iraq and why the country seems to be [...]

While the world gives Iran more time to build nuclear weapons by discussing, debating and involving the United Nations in the situation, Russia is taking action.  While the world sits around and does nothing, deliveries of an air rocket defense system from Russia to Iran are underway.  This is going to get interesting if the [...]

Most everyone agrees that Freedom of the Press is a fundamental necessity for a functioning Democracy. Yes, even the New York Times, Boston Globe, and Washington Post are entitled to this basic freedom, which is necessary to preserve a functioning democracy.

The Democrats are already overreaching.  Pat Leahey announced plans to subpoena classified information in Judiciary committee investigations.  For those who thought that the Democrats would be tough on the war on terror, think again.  Everything that has protected us from another terrorist attack in the last five years is about to be undone by the [...]

Congressman Alcee Hastings is trying to be the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee this January, bypassing the much more honest and deserving Jane Harmon for the post.  What’s bizarre about all this is that Harmon is trusted, well-liked and perceived as clean on Capitol Hill and, in saner times, would be a shoe-in for the [...]

Newt in an interview given to Nina Easton of Fortune Magazine: 
The radical realist who defied conventional wisdom 12 years ago by stealing the House out from under the noses of entrenched Democrats now plans a surprise attack for the presidency. “I’m going to tell you something, and whether or not it’s plausible given the world [...]
