The United Nations is refusing to recognize Christians in some Muslim Countries as human rights refugees in spite of the fact that they are having to flee for their lives. It is reminiscent of the West refusing to recognize the refugees fleeing from the coming Holocaust before WW2. Naturally, the Jewish persecution by constant shelling, terrorism, [...]

EU bans claims by bottled water manufacturers that regular consumption of water prevents dehydration. 21 scientists couldn’t decide if low water levels were a cause or symptom of dehydration and the regulatory board actually took them seriously.

China blasted Mexican President Calderon’s 45 minute meeting with the Dalai Lama in the strongest terms. It is not unusual for China to express dismay when foreign leaders meet with the Tibetan Spiritual leader and Nobel Peace Prize recipient. The nature of this rebuke seems to have gone way over the top to the point of interfering [...]

Blocking social media would put Britain in the same camp as China, Libya, or Egypt. Britain is better than this. There are better ways. Use it to get a head start on the riots and find the leadership. Let’s hope the PM does not lower the bar for free societies.

The President addressed the nation minutes ago to say Special Ops Forces killed Bin Laden. When America sets its mind to do something, there is nothing it cannot accomplish, declared the President.

Vice President Biden does not want Egyptian Strongman Mubarak to step down and I am sure that the entrance of the Muslim Brotherhood into the fray makes the U. S. nervous. I get that. We should learn our lesson from the Sha of Iran. We should not pull the rug out like we did there. [...]

One of the problems that America has faced is that we look at national defense based upon today’s challenges. We should. That is not where we need to stop. Our defense posture must be preparedness against potential and future threats. We must develop future weapons systems to stay a couple of steps ahead of the [...]

It is only the world court. You can go back to sleep. People will keep getting killed by the thousands when ever he feels not bound by the latest agreement. It is only a bunch of Black Christians getting killed, don’t expect the world to get up in arms.

Israel is still restricting weapons and construction material which can be used for fortifications, but instead of running all consumer goods through it, it is easing the restrictions to allow most goods to go through directly. But prospects for rebuilding the damage from a punishing Israeli military offensive last year remain uncertain. Materials like steel [...]

It appears the International humanitarian aid ship stopped by the Israeli Navy had contraband used to build rockets and harden bunkers. I guess it depends what humanitarian means to you. “This was not a peace missions, it was an act of terror,” said IDF spokesman Col. Avi Beneihen. In an address to the press later [...]

Serial human rights abuser, the People’s Republic of China received a boost from the regime in Washington by admitting that America has human rights problems too. The new Arizona law was cited as the example. Too bad no one over in State involved with this seems to have read the law. That’s okay, justice, the [...]

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.

We all heard the report that Iran is capable of getting the bomb. What is overlooked is that they have chemical and biological weapon capability. That should be more than a foot note. Iran having bio weapons is scary. Nukes are hard to move and locate clandestinely. Bio weapons are not. They can be used and [...]

Where is Hillary Clinton going to get the 100 billion dollar bribe of foreign aid that she promised to developing countries? I guess they had better write more books.

So declared the Oil states in the Arabian Gulf as they announced a new regional currency. It will be tied to a global market basket of currencies.

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.
