AP: U.S. Missile Strike Kills Three In Pakistan
One thing I must give Barack Obama credit for is the continuation of missile strikes into Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal region. The strikes appear to be quite an effective tool for dealing with terrorists beyond the reach of our ground forces. He may be a Euro-socialist whose economic and social policies (as well as many [...]
Communism Fails Again: North Korea Lifts Ban On Private Markets
18. June 2010
As leaders in the United States force the land of the free leftward, leaders in Pyongyang are being forced to give up a large aspect of their Communist experiment. As the Washington Post says, North Korea is bowing to reality: Communism doesn’t work. SEOUL — Bowing to reality, the North Korean government has lifted all [...]
Obama Trip Costs Taxpayers, Workers A Bundle
18. June 2010
Attempting to distract from his administration’s incompetence in the Gulf and hoping to rewrite the history of the failed $787 billion stimulus legislation, Barack Obama decided to make a trip to Columbus, Ohio, today. The president spoke for just ten minutes at a construction site and was in Ohio for just about an hour. But [...]
Referee Robs USA Of World Cup Goal
18. June 2010
No, this isn’t one of those inevitable “we were robbed!” posts by a disappointed fan following a disappointing game. This was a pretty clear-cut robbery. In fact, ESPN commentators — including an England partisan — noted at the time of the call that Slovenia — the team we were playing — had actually been committing [...]
Newsweek’s Newest Bidder: Chinese Communist Party
18. June 2010
The new bidder is officially the China Southern Daily Group, but the company is owned by the Guangdong Provincial Communist Party. So a successful bid would mean a major American news publication would be owned by one of China’s provincial-level Communist parties. As Jim Geraghty tweets, that should move Newsweek’s editorial slant to the right. [...]
Kagan Compared the NRA to the KKK
18. June 2010
We already knew that Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan, isn’t a fan of the Second Amendment. But what we didn’t know is that the potential justice thinks of gun rights organizations as occupying the same vein as the Klu Klux Klan. Robert VerBruggen of National Review has been digging through the documentation on [...]
Obama Admin: Um, Yeah, Health Care Mandates Are Taxes
18. June 2010
You’ll recall that Barack Obama went after ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos for calling the health care mandate a “tax” back in 2009. Stephanopoulos used a dictionary to prove the mandate amounted to a tax, but Obama was offended and completely rejected the premise. Here’s a sample from the exchange: OBAMA: No. That’s not true, George. [...]
Keith Olbermann Leaves Daily Kos Over Obama Criticism
18. June 2010
Keith Olbermann has left Daily Kos (he was a blogger there) after his critical comments about Barack Obama’s handling of the oil spill outraged the Obama fanboys at the community blog. Olbermann and some of his MSNBC colleagues surprised their left-leaning fans on Tuesday with eviscerating critiques of President Barack Obama’s Oval Office address on [...]
Stupak: Let’s Use BP Escrow Account To Fund Health Care
18. June 2010
But of course. You didn’t honestly think Congress and the Obama Administration would keep their grubby hands off the $20 billion escrow account funded by BP, did you? Joe Barton was right when he called it a slush fund. The only question is whether enough Democrats will end up being too afraid of electoral backlash [...]
South Korean Fighter Jet Goes Missing; Updated
17. June 2010
There’s no suggestion of foul play as of yet, but obviously things will be a bit tense until the jet is relocated or South Korean confirms nothing untoward was done by the north. The jet missing is reportedly a Northrop F-5, which we (the United States) first manufactured in the late 60s. The Republic of [...]
