Terrorist Lawyer Lynne Stewart Gets 10 Years In Prison
Lynne Stewart wasn’t simply representing an accused terrorist. That’s entirely legal. No, she was helping said accused terrorist communicate messages to his terrorist followers despite the court specifically banning anyone from doing so. So she was helping further acts of terrorism. Stewart was originally sentenced to an outrageously-short two years, four months in prison. But [...]
United States Army Releases Suicide Data For June

Morbid, I know, but important and sad. During the month of June, there were 21 potential suicides involving active duty members of the Army. One has been confirmed as a suicide while the other 20 remain under investigation. Among reserve component soldiers who were not on active duty, there were 11 potential suicides. Again, one [...]
Poll: Obama Would Lose in 2012 To Multiple Republican Choices
15. July 2010
Left-leaning pollster Public Policy Polling recently conducted a head-to-head match up poll involving a series of potential Republican nominees and Barack Obama in a hypothetical run for the presidency. The results don’t bode well for the liberal incumbent. In fact, the only hypothetical Republican challenger Obama beats is Governor Jane Brewer of Arizona. Mike Huckabee, [...]

BP Lobbied UK Government For Lockerbie Bomber’s Expedited Release
15. July 2010
Oh, come on. Next we’re going to find out BP ceo Tony Hayward kidnapped the Lindbergh baby, too. Or, as DrewM. says, BP has the “Worst Company in the World” title locked up for 2010. “BP told the UK government that we were concerned about the slow progress that was being made in concluding a [...]
Thanks, Obama: Gitmo Detainees Enjoying “Twilight” Movies, Video Games
14. July 2010
The wussification of the war on terrorism. Also among the detainee privileges sponsored by the American taxpayers (the same Americans these guys wanted to kill)? Skype and lessons on personal finance. While the 181 men being held in the prison wait to learn their fates after the administration fell through on its January 2010 deadline [...]
Funny Story: Obama Admin Won’t Sue Sanctuary Cities For Conflicting With Federal Law
14. July 2010
Let’s get this straight. Arizona supposedly conflicts with federal law by actually trying to enforce federal law, and that results in condemnations from the White House and a lawsuit from the Justice Department. Sanctuary cities, meanwhile, conflict with federal law by blatantly ignoring federal law, and that results in excuses from the White House and [...]

Russia To Defy Sanctions, Deliver Fuel To Iran
14. July 2010
Say, how are those “reset” relations between the United States and Russia working out? I only ask because, um, Russia continues to supply our enemies despite international sanctions. Not to be difficult, but I’m not feeling the love from Moscow. Russian companies are ready to supply fuel to energy-hungry Iran, despite unilateral US and EU [...]
