MR. CHEREMUSHKIN (Interfax News Agency): For a long time, U.S. and Russia were rivals. Does United States view Russia as a continuing threat to its national security? And are you concerned about Russian new build up of more powerful ICBMs? SEC. GATES: No. I think that we are — we have — I don’t see Russia as a threat. I see Russia — Russian-U.S. relations | Read More »
Rarely in our nation’s history have we been in such peril both at home and abroad. The mid term elections of November 3 which culminated in a thorough repudiation of the Obama regime were rightfully focused on its thoroughly negligent financial stewardship. Left unexamined was its equally incompetent foreign policy. The disastrous faux diplomacy practiced by the Obama regime has increased the inherent instability along | Read More »
Last month, as an electoral disaster of Biblical proportions loomed, Obama opined: “Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we’re hardwired not to always think clearly when we’re scared.” It’s indicative of a very tiny man when one has to blame | Read More »
A lot of very good things happened last Tuesday as Americans moved to reclaim the nation from the grasp of a kleptocratic Democrat party. But one of the big victories for common sense and the rule of law didn’t involve rival candidates. It didn’t gather the attention of Sarah Palin or the various Tea Party organizations. It didn’t happen in a state with a nationally | Read More »

Operation GOTHIC SERPENT. Blackhawk Down. The Battle of Mogadishu. They’re all the same.

“Obama had to do this 18-month surge just to demonstrate, in effect, that it couldn’t be done . . . the president had treated the military as another political constituency that had to be accommodated.” LTG Douglas Lute Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor for Iraq and Afghanistan as quoted in the Washington Post .

I’m nothing if not magnanimous. I poked fun at the abrupt departure of Christina Romer from her sinecure as Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers but I’m a big enough man to admit I was wrong. Today the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Bilderbergerish group that decides when recessions begin and end by using all kinds of data and whether or not a | Read More »
Yesterday we did a brief commentary on the rather extraordinary swan song of Christina Romer, the recently resigned chairman of Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, in which she admitted to not only not having the answers but to not fully comprehending the questions. Today, there is some moderate pushback from the administration trying to counter the air of bovine incomprehension that is beginning to adhere | Read More »
(h/t to Marc Thiessen at the Enterprise Blog) Tony Blair’s new book, A Journey: My Political Life is out and the Washington Post published some excepts today. This one encapsulates why America was taken seriously under President Bush and why it is laughed at to its face under Obama. The two men came to like each other, so comfortable in each other’s presence that, years | Read More »
Yesterday the chairman of Obama’s sublimely misnamed Council of Economic Advisers got the hell out of Dodge. In an earlier, more genteel day a cosmic failure like Christina Romer would have packed her Prius after dark and been hours out of town before the light of day. This, however, is the Age of Testimony and Validation. So Romer left after a luncheon at the National | Read More »
From Public Policy Polling, the official pollster of DailyKos: “We’ll start rolling out our Ohio poll results tomorrow but there’s one finding on the poll that pretty much sums it up: by a 50-42 margin voters there say they’d rather have George W. Bush in the White House right now than Barack Obama.”
The recent debate over the Ground Zero Mosque, now innocuously called “Park51″ by the AP and other nitwits, has been instructive on several levels. We’ve learned a great deal about the liberal mindset that thinks a Christmas creche on a courthouse lawn, or a cross on a desolate Mojave hilltop, is a grave affront to the “separation of church and state” yet the building of | Read More »
From a story in today’s Washington Post headlined Poll shows more Americans think Obama is a Muslim: The number of Americans who believe — wrongly — that President Obama is a Muslim has increased significantly since his inauguration and now accounts for nearly 20 percent of the nation’s population.
