Now is a particularly dangerous moment for American national security interests.
The politics of economic obstruction Occupy Oakland strike promoter Boots Riley, who penned “5 million ways to kill a CEO,” celebrates the attack on the World Trade Center My new column spotlights the Occupiers’ “general strike” action scheduled for today — and climaxing tonight in an anticipated shutdown of the Port of Oakland (Calif.). Many of the same old agitators I’ve covered over the past decade are behind the latest manufactured chaos. I refresh your memories below of the Bay Area Left’s violent Oakland port shutdown in 2003 and the ignominious Oakland agitator and strike leader Boots Riley, and also connect the dots between Riley, Oakland’s Van Jones, Occupy Oakland, and the violent ILWU thugs and their supporters who kicked off the Day of Rage warm-up show in Longview, Washington in September
President Barack Obama pushed his economic agenda to a military audience on the third day of his trip through North Carolina and Virginia, this time with first lady Michelle Obama at his side.
In a Friday bad-news dump that was a whopper even by its own standards, the Obama administration added to the announcement of a near-record annual deficit and an escalation of undeclared war in Uganda the news that the CLASS Act, an ill-conceived adjunct of the Affordable Care Act, is no more. The upshot is this: Obamacare just got a whole lot more expensive than advertised, and there is reason to believe that its Democratic architects have long known this would happen
Paul Joseph Watson | Republican Congressman says Obama should have troops on standby for military response.
A little while back, I composed a list of the ten greatest “state-actor” threats to American security interests, both at home and abroad. I ranked Iran #2, given their reckless bellicosity, nuclear ambitions and willingness to fight America by proxy
In a report filed at the Los Angeles Times's Politics Now blog earlier today, Washington Bureau reporter James Oliphant relayed a number of whoppers delivered by Vice President Joe Biden without anything resembling a challenge. Breaking Biden's bilge into three sections, they involve his claim about the historical origins of the Tea Party, which Biden characterized as a collection of ” barbarians ” only a month ago (and as ” terrorists ” two month ago); his hit at Bank of America and its $5 monthly fee for debit-card use; and the nature of the “bailouts” which followed the passage of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) in the fall of 2008.
As is well known, the movie business is pretty much dead to audiences unless you’re a teenage boy, so times is hard out here in Tinseltown for a scribe like me.
(Monte Kuligowski) – Bill Clinton’s policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” seemed harmless enough at the time. It gave activists what they claimed to want, legal protection, while leaving in place the military’s prohibition against homosexual conduct. So long as “gay” military personnel kept their homosexuality private the relevant command was barred from making inquiry; even if code violations were suspected…

The question arises: How effective are weasel words in fighting off weasel words? With its leader having proposed to expand our deflating economy by redistributing another $1.5 trillion from private-sector producers to public-sector gluttons, the Obama Left’s talking point du jour is: “We are just asking the rich to pay their fair share.” The point here is not to rehearse the illogic of that assertion
The recent decision by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals to dismiss Virginia v.
Today, during a panel discussion hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus about blacks in the military, Rep. Allen West told a young man, who referred to President Obama as a role model, that we need more black…
Obama’s presidency lurches from fad to fad — from gays in the military to “green jobs” to the “Buffett rule.” Hyped as a profound presidency, it has turned out to be an embarrassingly frivolous one.
Let the sun shine in… After I blogged last week about Barack Obama’s burgeoning LightSquared scandal, I received a miffed e-mail from billionaire hedge fund manager/Obama donor/LightSquared principal backer Philip Falcone under the subject line “Tip.” Falcone defended the Obama administration and noted that the predecessor to LightSquared, called Skyterra, had benefited from some previous regulatory approvals under the Bush administration. (Sound familiar
The media finally conceded the Obama administration to be inexperienced and inept, reminiscent of the Carter administration — but, they maintained, not possibly involved in any corruption. Then suddenly scandals erupted on nearly every conceivable front: the crony-capitalist half-billion-dollar loan guarantee to a now bankrupt Solyndra; the Fast and Furious gun deal, in which, in lunatic fashion, the U.S. government sold deadly automatic weapons to Mexican drug-cartel killers; the administration’s pressure on a four-star general to fudge his testimony as a favor to a big campaign donor whose suspect company, LightSquared, was doing business with the Pentagon; and the politically inspired dropping of investigations by the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department
From CNS News: A new poll shows that an overwhelming majority of Americans give the U.S. military and the CIA a “great deal” of credit for finding and killing terrorist Osama bin Laden, while slightly over one-third give a “great deal” of credit to President Barack Obama for Bin Laden’s demise. In the USA Today/Gallup [...]
From CNS News: The White House says President Barack Obama plans to sign the repeal of the military’s ban on openly gay service members on Wednesday, four days after the Senate voted to abolish the policy. Obama’s signature would end the Pentagon’s 17-year, “don’t-ask, don’t tell” policy and fulfill a 2008 presidential campaign promise. The [...]
From CNSNews.com: House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.), echoing others who testified before a subcommittee on Thursday, said both the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations represent an “imperial presidency.” Obama, Conyers said, has broken his promises to shut down Guantanamo, end military operations abroad, and has continued to expand the power of [...]
