The kind of political chutzpah that “Prime Minister’s Questions” junkies have experienced for years on C-SPAN finally made it to the floor of the EU. British MP Daniel Hannan wrecks on British Prime Minister Gordon Brown in a classic Tory beat-down of bad Labour policies, this time on an international forum which everyone could see! Check it out:
“Brezhnev-era apparatchik [...]

The US dollar is not in good shape. I will primarily blame Bush for this because it was during the last administration when the dollar was in free-fall for a many reasons, but nonetheless suffers greatly as a result. Obama, however, has done nothing to fix that, in fact making the situation considerably worse by printing [...]

In what appears to be a move to ignite Cold War II, the Russians are threatening to station Russian military bombers in both Cuba and Venezuela. This is a blatant attempt to provoke the United States, or at the very least test the mettle of The One. What frightens me is that Obama does not [...]

Nicolas Sarkozy plans to move France back into the decision-making core of the NATO alliance after forty three years of his country’s passive membership. The move is being met with some criticism from Sarkozy’s left-wing critics in France and elsewhere, but Sarkozy has assured those critics that the move would not undermine French independence. Americans [...]

Here I was writing optimistically about the polls and about taking the political fight to our political enemies, when I’m throwing this gloom and doomer at you for a second time!
I don’t buy into all of it because history shows that trends do suddenly end while also changing rapidly from time to time: they thought in 1946 that a new [...]

Yesterday Ryan wrote on how Iran would like an apology from the Obama administration. Well, the Obama administration is planning to send a letter to the Iranian Regieme (H/T: Sister Toldjah), letting them know that we mean them no harm! As part of the brave new age of capitulation and appeasement, the Obama administration will [...]

Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has asked for an apology from the US because of “crimes” America has committed against them. Of course, it’s both ridiculous and completely expected. In fact, I expect the Obama Administration to be conciliatory toward the Iranian regime which is nonetheless running a proxy-war in Gaza, Lebanon, as well as killing US troops in Iraq.
All that and [...]

We are entering a new era in American history, that of capitulation and appeasement. President Barack Obama, in an effort to ensure that the world loves us, is giving in to dictators and thugs. Because America is not supposed to “start by dictating,” Obama wants the world to know that the Freedom movement is dead, [...]

In Barry’s First Seven Days we’ve already lurched backwards, perhaps dangerously.
First, we fold over the issue of Gitmo in the face of evidence regarding the fate of some of the released detainees, making appear America less safe.
Then, Barry goes over to al Arabiya TV and gives his first post-Inaugural interview with them – not the MSM, [...]

President Obama has asked Israel to open its borders with Gaza, the the region from which hundreds of rockets were launched at Israeli civilians as recently as last week. Why? So the terrorists can get a better shot?
It is highly unlikely that the Israeli government would pay much attention to this asinine request in the [...]

With anti-semitism on the rise in recent years, especially in Europe, disturbing scenes like these have become increasingly common. What’s even more troubling is that anti-semitism is socially acceptable enough in certain areas for people to shamelessly display their hatred out in the open. Not that all anti-semites are content to confine their filth to [...]

Israel has moved the tanks and troops into the Gaza Strip in the latest phase of “Operation Cast Lead;” Israel’s attempt to get Hamas to embrace a lasting ceasefire. Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas has called Israel’s incursion “brutal aggression,” and the UN is hyperventilating over Israel’s actions of late, citing the laughable phrases “disproportionate” and [...]

I’m kind of glad to see this year go. While fun was had, disappointments and external events put a particular funk on this year as I look back on it.
The biggest story of the year happened on my birthday when America chose to embrace our new status as an Obama Nation. We deserve what we [...]

In cross-border raids yesterday from Iraq into a border-town in Syria, word has it that Abu Ghadiyain, a significant al Qaeda planner of operations in Iraq, was nabbed by US forces. Iran and Russia condemned the attack, but the Iraqis were not apologetic — they knew where the bad guys were.
I think the US decided that since [...]

There are 9 days until Election Day and John McCain has to make his final pitch to the people, unload all his cash, unleash the 527s, and unfortunately hope for something unexpected to help. Dick Morris wrote an oped which lays out how three times since World War II, the underdog made up the difference in [...]

In his latest column, the syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer endorses John McCain for President. I love his column partially because he picks on the lily-livered, weak-kneed RINOs who are prematurely giving up or even jumping ship.
Then he makes a few simple points: the economy will return to normal like it always eventually does, Obama was dead wrong on the Surge and [...]

The RINOs have a new face this morning: Colin Powell.
The still self-professed “Republican” said on Meet the Depressed this morning that Powell will be voting for Obama because The One has run a positive campaign and is a “transformational figure” for America and the world. Truth is we need a President who can articulate American values clearly and [...]

The first full day of market trading since the bailout of all bailouts was supposed to staunch the bleeding of the current economic crisis Wall Street decided to vote. Thusly, the Dow dropped a record one-day total of roughly 800 points before bargain hunters slowed the bleeding to a loss of about 330 by day’s [...]

The latest controversy to arise out of Beijing deals with when Cuban Angel Matos disagreed with a judge’s enforcement of the rules during a tae-kwon-do medal round against Kazakhstan and decided to kick the judge in the face, spit on the mat and leave the arena.
Here’s why Matos was mad: He was up 3-2, but needed to [...]
