With all the recent excitement over the Billary-Obama feud, the Nevada caucuses and South Carolina primary, and my own early voting in my home state of Florida, I’d almost forgotten about the Louisiana caucuses last night. Michelle Malkin has the (bad) news:
Senator John McCain has won the Republican party’s caucuses in Louisiana while […]

UPDATE: Grodner=Guilty!
Friday, January 18th, 2008The military-hating lawyer I blogged about in yesterday’s post, Jay Grodner, had his day in court today and here’s what happened according to a reader at Michell Malkin’s blog:
Long story short, he has to pay $600 to a Semper Fi Fund (Marine [Corps] fund for the wounded) and he has to report for Social […]

Troop-bashing lawyer faces the music tomorrow
Thursday, January 17th, 2008As a veteran (Army) myself, this story rankles me.
Sgt. Michael McNulty, a 26-year-old Marine from Chicago, had his car keyed allegedly by a jerkball lawyer as he visited a friend before he left for his second tour in Iraq.
Charges against the lawyer, 55-year-old Jay Grodner, might be upgraded to a felony, […]

Here’s why, Admiral Mullen
Sunday, January 13th, 2008The MSM succeeded in getting Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff–the highest ranking military man in the U.S. military (remember, he’s outranked by SECDEF and CINC/POTUS)–to admit that he thinks the terrorist prison at Guantanamo Bay should be closed.
Asked why he thinks Gitmo should be closed, Admiral Mullen says: […]

MoRon Paul
Sunday, January 13th, 2008All around the town I live, I see Ron Paul 2008 signs. Most of these signs are illegally placed (code violations) in street medians, and on private property (usually properties where the owner lives elsewhere.
I mention this because a Ron Paul supporter posted his/her/its sign at a McDonald’s drive-thru, one I just […]

The “American” Al-Qaida speaks
Sunday, January 6th, 2008Adam Gadahn, the American al-Qaida member, released a video recently. And he sounds a lot like a left-wing blog or website:
“Now we direct an urgent call to our militant brothers in Muslim Palestine and the Arab peninsula … to be ready to receive the Crusader slayer Bush in his visit to Muslim Palestine […]

John Edwards’ keeps 2004 campaign promise–sort of
Monday, December 24th, 2007Am I the only one who saw this? Yesterday, I was as glad as anyone to see Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett get up and walk again. For those of you who don’t follow football, the significance of this event is that earlier in the football season, Everett suffered a severe spinal […]

Can we arrest Democrats for the same thing too?

Defeatist Dems throw in towel on Iraq
Thursday, April 19th, 2007Well, they’re making it official now, anyway. At least Harry Reid says so:
The war in Iraq “is lost” and a US troop surge is failing to bring peace to the country, the leader of the Democratic majority in the US Congress, Harry Reid, said Thursday.
“I believe … that this war is lost, […]

Oh, the irony
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007This one definitely goes in the “truth-is-stranger-than-fiction” file. Hugh Hefner–THE Hugh Hefner, you know, he of Playboy magazine fame–has donated some cash to the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign:
(Hugh) Hefner contributed $2,300 (the maximum allowed in the primary) to Clinton’s campaign on March 28, identifying his occupation on the fundraiser form as “editor-in-chief” […]

Tax season can be taxing
Sunday, April 15th, 2007Yuck, only a couple of days until taxes are due and we still haven’t done ours. So the media is putting out a few stories on the whole tax thing.

The REAL story slipped through their fingers
Wednesday, April 11th, 2007In their usual attempt to make President Bush look bad, the New York Times makes a rare admission: that desertions were HIGHER during the Clinton administration, when we weren’t at war, than they are now:
The Army prosecuted desertion far less often in the late 1990s, when desertions were more frequent, than it does now, […]

Good one, Faye!
Tuesday, April 10th, 2007Yes, at first we were worried and we prayed for the safe return of the 15 British sailors and marines captured by Iran. Then we were thrilled when we heard they’d been released. Then we were upset that they had caved in to their captors’ demands too easily and quickly.
But at […]

Leftists show what they mean by “tolerance”
Tuesday, April 10th, 2007News a few weeks ago about Al Gore’s hypocrisy on global warming and energy use prompted a torrent of abuse upon the organization that discovered it, as well as its employees:
Some e-mails, like Benjamin Greuel’s, reflected anti-religious bias: “Go f–k yourselves you neo con, non-secular, bible thumpin, anti-science dumb (etc.)
Similarly, Anthony Black wrote: […]

Dems scared of Fox News
Monday, April 9th, 2007Can’t say that I blame them. Why allow yourself to be hit with tough questions like Republicans do on most of the MSM, when you can get softballs tossed at you by the MSM instead?
