Go back to Mexico

The disgusting display but on by Mexican President Felipe Calderón raised the ire of many Americans who have tired of the growing lawlessness in the borders of the Southwest portion of the country. I myself live in California, about 1 1/2 hour’s drive from San Diego, where we have our fair share of border-jumping. As [...]

NKorea Warns of War on Sinking Row

Newsmax reports that a skirmish in where a South Korean ship was sunk has placed the Korean peninsula on the brink of war. North Korea, not surprisingly, continues using the sort of rhetoric that one would expect from a dying Communist puppet state in threatening war if sanctions are placed against it, but sinking a [...]

Editorial: Twilight of the Establishment

Tuesday’s election cycle is boding well not merely for the Republican Party in battering the Democrats, but for a good cleasing within the walls of the GOP halls itself. It’s about time. I’m no fan of Rand Paul, but if people are angry enough to vote for anti-establishment candidates, this could force a change of [...]

Setting the Record Straight on Grassroots Jihadism

Scott Stewart of STRATFOR analyzes trends stemming from the failed carbomb attack perpetrated by Faisal Shahzad and possibly others.

Oliver North Confirms Big Government Report ** Intelligence Sources in U.S. & Afghanistan: Mullah Omar in Hands of Pakistan’s ISI

Charging Elephant put up this blog post and made my day. I can only hope that it’s true.

The Long and Foggy War

Liberals continue to prove what a clueless lot they are. It is as if the concept that a supporter of Al Qaeda would want to actually kill Americans indiscriminately is too mind-bogglingly unbelievable for these people to grasp. Cliff May at TownHall.com writes on The Long and Foggy War, an apt title for the left’s [...]

Che on May Day

Humberto Fontalva opines on the idiocy of Mexican-Americans who worship at the altar of Che Guevara, a man who utterly loathed them, and on the bravery shown by Tony Chao, a man who faced a martyr’s death at the hands of the cold-blooded coward who would die whimpering for his life years later.

Sunset In Taxifornia?

We have the worst sort of bumbling idiots ruining California’s finances. As bitterly disappointed as I am with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s disastrous run as governor, he seems to have finally woken up to the fact that he has to slash and burn the budget, lest the state completely collapse financially.

The welfare state’s death spiral

Though I loathe the welfare state and its insistence on holding up leeches who do little to earn the bloated state salary earned on the back of businessmen, I feel no joy in knowing that the West will go through a nasty death-rattle before the economy resets itself. Robert Samuelson eulogizes the welfare state at [...]

Another liberal publication fails

Robert Moon reports on the fall of yet another liberal rag, Newsweek. They’re up for sale as they’ve performed poorly over the years, namely because they have a huge credibility problem. Hugh Hewitt has half-joked about pooling investors to buy the rag, but as far as I’m concerned, the brand name is ruined. Here’s a [...]
