Where public policy meets common sense

Three years of Obama policy of non-support of our close ally Israel could result in an all-out war with a nuclear Iran. With the recent revolutions in the Mideast, and the certainty of a nuclear-armed Iran, the world as a whole has become a much more dangerous place to live in. “Under the Obama administration, [...]

Governor Perry called for the U. S. to continue an active role in securing the weapons in Libya. This was markedly different from the tone in both parties which urged either a wind down of operations or like Senator Chris Coons, D of DE were aimed at calling for elections sooner rather than later. Coons said, “How [...]

In 1956, the Eisenhower Administration seemed to encourage an uprising against the Soviet Union in Hungary. They provided no arms, and no support. The result looked great until the tanks rolled in. Thousands died fighting, others were tortured and imprisoned, while 200,000 fled for their lives. Fast forward to Libya, the people cried out where [...]

Recall then-vice-presidential candidate Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del) pontificating the likeliness of an “international crisis’ that would “test the mettle of this guy” – referring to then-candidate Barack Obama during the campaign of 2008? Since the time Biden uttered those remarks at a Seattle campaign fundraiser event, he’s mostly been right. Who’d a thunk it? Yet, [...]

32 years ago the Sha of Iran fell. Today, Mubarak is gone. President Ahmadinejad is celebrating the fall of the Zionist friendly regime and the making of a new Middle East. Others are saying Democracy is rising. The protestors were a diverse group from freedom loving people, to socialist/communists, to the Islamic Brotherhood. Who will [...]

Don’t upset North Korea (DPRK) by doing nothing after they raided an island and killed South Korean troops. The call by the People’s Republic of China is a major test for the Obama administration. The whole world is watching.

The White House won’t tell, but it denies the likely inflated figure put out by the press in India of 200M. What we know is it will not be cheap. Read the report of the tunnel that will be built for the President to visit a museum. That is just the beginning. 800 hotel rooms, [...]

Post partisanship doesn’t even apply offshore with this guy. No wonder Bebe had other things to do. I do not understand the disrespect of our allies. I thought he ran on restoring respect for them. I guess that only applies to socialist allies like the Brazilian fellow traveler.. I am sure that the bow to [...]

“It is astounding that anyone who has refused to clear up identifiable ties to Castro’s spy network and declared Puerto Rico’s independence from the United States would be nominated to represent our nation in El Salvador which has been a lynchpin nation in Central America.”—ALG President Bill Wilson Aponte for Ambassador April 12th, 2010, [...]

That would be just as silly as the regime in Washington being insulted by the announcement that Israel is approving a development in its capitol, Jerusalem. The regime had to make a little fuss to appease the Arabs since the Palestinians decided out of the blue some years ago that they wanted East Jerusalem as [...]

A backdesert heresy condemned at least 60 times by leading clerics, called Saudi Wahhabism, got a boost from western sources right after WW2. Thanks to a gullible U. S. State department. We are still paying the price for that one. It is another reason that we can not abandon the fight. We helped create the [...]

Russia and Belarus stage manuevers which simulated an attack on Poland about the same time the administration abandoned them. The Nuclear and conventional mock ups mentioned Poland by name. Which administration is tone deaf to our allies?

Israel’s then left wing government defended its people from constant attack in Gaza led by the terrorist group Hamas. Now a UN report is critical of Israel for civilian casualties and is raising concerns about officials of those government traveling to some European countries. Hamas is basically a civilian group. You can not fight it [...]

By Christine O’Donnell Cross post– Originally published in the Bulletin Okay, so let me get this straight… just 12 days after our new President took office, a committee of international peace seekers nominated him for his international peace accomplishments. Just days into his Presidency? It’s highly unlikely that they nominated him on the merits of [...]

My friends have covered the Rio win well. I am happy for it. One the Olympics will be in our time frame so we will not miss the events. Two, they should finally get an Olympics in South America. Three, unlike our liberal friends, I care about the children of the 10/30 window. I want [...]

President Obama’s standing may be high, but the U.S. Standing may have fallen. At the United Nations, support for U.S. positions has declined since the 1960s, and the decline was especially pronounced during the George W. Bush administration, the academics said. After some initial success, such as toppling the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, the United [...]

The Free Market oriented Free Democrat Party set a new record gaining nearly 15% of the vote. As the two major parties receded a clear message of tax cuts and deregulation gained currency in Germany. Chancelor Merkel won a solid victory of 10 points over the left leaning SDP, but her party had the second [...]

Lybian dictator Muammar Gaddafi made a speech before the United Nations today. The speech lasted for 1 hour and 36 minutes, well over the 15 minutes normally allotted for speeches. According to news reports, he rambled on and on covering his opinions on world events for the last forty years, but the best thing the [...]

The White House is appointing itself “The Interrogation Czar” in yet another move that makes me wonder if Congress is ever going to step in and do some of the stuff we elected them to do: President Barack Obama has approved creation of a new, special terrorism-era interrogation unit to be supervised by the White [...]

The Lubna-Ahmed al-Hussein trial in the Sudan will resume on September 7th. Who is this woman and what did she do that has her facing 40 lashes for “indecency” in the Sudan? She wore pants in public: Lubna Ahmed al-Hussein, who waived the immunity she has as an employee of the United Nations Mission in [...]

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went to India to perform an act of contrition on behalf of United States for our Global Warming sins and to ask India not to do the same thing: “We acknowledge now with President Obama that we have made mistakes in the United States, and we along with other developed [...]

Warning: What you are about to read is not PC. It could result in exploding suppositions. Yes, there are pants of panic from a new UN study which says that the global population will soar to 9 billion by 2050. I say great. That’s more people we can teach the Gospel to. (I had to [...]

Will PM Ehud Olmert blow another opportunity to defend his nation by a half hearted effort? Only time will tell. Talk of a cease fire does not make me optimistic. If Israel wanted a cease fire, then it should have done nothing. Hamas said they wanted war. Let them have it. It is the only [...]

For those without a sense of humor, I know that it is nation Georgia in conflict with Russia. My point however is a very serious one. Georgia has applied to join NATO. NATO is a military/political alliance in which an attack on one member is the same as an attack on all. In other words, we [...]

Guest Post By Annie Mountain What happens when America is so bankrupt, so overextended, so wide open to take over???????? In case you are not watching the news in the evening and don’t venture anywhere else besides the News Journal, now hear this – the Chrysler Building, one of America’s most recognized building is for sale.

There is a lot of good news coming from Iraq, but it seems just when we are getting hopeful that we are reminded just how fluid the situation is. 4000 American military deaths was a sad milestone. The good news is the rate has slowed dramatically. The bad news is the cease fire is beginning to fall apart [...]

An Iranian police chief was arrested while in bed with 6 prostitutes. Defense attorneys said that he was seeking a down payment on the 70 virgins (sarcasm). The result of this breech in the capitol city has caused protests. Chief Reza Zarei was on a campaign of moralizing the city by enforcing an Islamic dress code [...]
