President Barack Obama’s and Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to try any of the terrorists in the civilian courts is utterly ridiculous. Even if the terrorists are tried in the federal courts for committing an illegal act of war, which should be on top of the list of charges brought, a question I asked here begs for further study: Here’s something else: are there 12 | Read More »
There aren’t enough curse words I’ve thought up to describe the Obama administration’s decision to bring KSM and his “Merry Band” of cutthroat terrorists to U.S. soil to stand trial in civilian courts. It is just rotten to the core. Being the cynical jerk that I am, I am in total agreement with Andy McCarthy’s take on why The One and Holder are trying these | Read More »
This is just coming out: Self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees will be sent to New York to face trial in a civilian federal court, an Obama administration official said Friday. The others are Waleed bin Attash, Ramzi Binalshibh, Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi, and Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali. The AP piece explains what the other terrorists are accused of | Read More »
As is already known, President Obama has thrown out all the plans to implement the strategy he says he wants for Afghanistan. Since Gen. Stanley McChrystal let out that he wants around 40,000 additional troops in order for the plan to succeed, Obama has been accused of dithering and falling far short of anything resembling someone who supposed to be the Commander in Chief of | Read More »
Via Hot Air, previously ousted Honduran President and Chavez-wannabe Manuel Zelaya will return to power as President for the remainder of his term after an agreement between Zelaya and the Honduran government was accepted. There are some caveats (emphasis from Ed Morrissey): Mr Micheletti said that Mr Zelaya could return to office after a vote in Congress that would be authorised by the country’s Supreme | Read More »
I sometimes wonder where President Obama is on this whole national security thing. I mean, the oath he took on January 20th of this year states: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” I would | Read More »
I don’t know about you, but I never saw this coming. I guess this is a consolation prize for not getting Chicago the 2016 Olympic Games. Simply unbelievable: President Barack Obama made history again Friday, winning the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” Riiiiight. Sure he did. You know what Obama’s done? Made speeches. That’s | Read More »
UPDATE: Erick Erickson links to a piece by Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN) in Human Events. As they say, read the whole thing. It’s just another example of how Obama is continuing the “revolution”, doing everything he can to destroy the previous administration. Original post: I realize that there are a lot more pressing items to discuss, but this has been floating around in my head | Read More »
About a year or so ago, Secretary of Goldman Sachs the Treasury Henry Paulson warned the country about the nature of toxic assets, those securities, valued in the trillions of dollars, that were so dragging the entire financial industry into the toilet and the country towards another economic depression, forcing the government to bail out several banks, bail out insurance giant AIG, and bail out | Read More »
It seems Bill O’Reilly didn’t think the outburst by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) during President Obama’s “speech” was warranted. Apparently, the reason for Wilson’s outburst, Obama’s constant lying throughout the rant “speech” culminating in the mendacity that the health “reform” the President wants wouldn’t include illegal aliens, wasn’t good enough for O’Reilly. One of the people O’Reilly had on to discuss this was Ann Coulter. | Read More »
You can tell our President is a leftist because he is ready, willing, and able to cajole and berate his fellow residents with agitprop and dishonest propaganda, but refuses to treat America’s enemies with anything but outright deference. Did you hear the lies that were coming fast and furious? I could swear his nose grew out all the way to Pelosi’s San Francisco office. Here’s | Read More »
As noted by CNN (where I first saw the story) and here at RedState, self-avowed Communist and Obama “Green Czar” Van Jones resigned from his position around midnight. As is obvious, it was done during a holiday weekend and while the President was on “vacation” so that Obama didn’t have to worry about having to answer pesky questions from the media, provided they bother asking. | Read More »
I’ve been following along with the saga of President Obama’s “Green Czar”, someone who can’t define what a “green” job is (nor can anyone else), the self-avowed Communist Van Jones. The push to get him removed has done much to further put on display Obama’s past and present associations with outright radicals, and showing Obama to be as unserious as any of these people who | Read More »
I had wondered why Barack Obama appointed Leon Panetta to be the new Director of the CIA. I’m now thinking that Panetta was put into the position to help Obama ferret out information from the agency in order to get AG Eric Holder to file trumped-up charges against high-ranking members of the Bush administration, including George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, for the supposed “misdeeds” | Read More »
Under normal circumstances, I could use the release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi as a precursor to slam President Obama. Looking at the situation, however, I agree with what he said, and would like to give the reasons why. I’m not going soft on this administration, but every President will say things I agree with once in a great while. A couple of days ago, the | Read More »
I sent the following confession of my sin to flag@whitehouse.gov. To whom it may concern: I am writing you to flag myself as one who has disagreed with President Obama’s outlines for health “reform” (I’m not sure if it’s considered health care reform or health insurance reform; of course, I didn’t go to Harvard and may not understand all the “nuance” from this administration) and | Read More »
The job of “community organizer” that Barack Obama says was a key stepping stone in his political life is a nebulous position that is hard to define, especially when the left is allowed to define it. They will pull stuff out of their collective tuchus to say that Jesus Christ was the ultimate “community organizer”. But if one looks at what a “community organizer” does, | Read More »
Pejman Yousefzadeh is being way too nice calling Democrat Harry Reid the “Worst. Senate. Majority. Leader. EVER.” While there are plenty of putrid turds like Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, John Conyers, Dick Durbin, Barbara Boxer, and John “Francois” Kerry running around in Congress, they don’t get much lower than the cockroach Reid (which is an insult to cockroaches). Reid has decided, for what purpose I | Read More »
The state of Wisconsin is all set to use the money it received from Porkulus for a “shovel-ready” project: The largest transportation project in state history will expand Interstate 94 to eight lanes between the Mitchell interchange and Kenosha County. The project is expected to last seven years. The $1.9 billion project — even bigger than the just-completed Marquette Interchange — will rebuild the entire | Read More »
Part I is here. Full disclosure; I am not an economist or an accountant, nor do I play those parts on TV. The opinions expressed below are mine and are based on observation and reading. As mentioned in Part I, Treasury Secretary “Tax Cheat” Geithner finally came up with more details on how the government plans to work out the mess in the financial and | Read More »
