Turns out actual scientific inquiry and study of the temperature of the earth have shown that there is no global warming coinciding with increased carbon-dioxide. There were a few years of warming, but apparently that stopped around 1998. But we keep pumping out ever more carbon dioxide. If the models used to project […]

The events in the power struggle over the national nomination system for President continues on its inevitable path this week.  The national Democratic Committee (a free association of independent and politically sovereign State political parties) threatened the Florida State party with excluding its nominees to the National Convention for nominating the selection of Democrats nationwide […]

Its the end of August 2007 and we are smack dab in the middle of the Presidential election season… for an election that is well over a year away. Further, the Primary system is accelerating into a state of meltdown as the political elites of each state have finally come to the conclusion that […]

I know, I know… they're all melting right? To hear Al Gore talk one would think all the glaciers of the world are melting like a Popsicle dropped on Phoenix asphalt in the summer. The world isn't static though, never has been and never will be, and while some glaciers are shrinking others […]

Many commentators thought that the recently voted ceasefire to the fighting is Lebanon would fail, but for perhaps different reasons than it is looking right now to actually be happening.  Pundits far and wide assumed that the Lebanese government would at least go along with the perception of deploying troops according to the agreement to […]

After the testimony by key generals to congress yesterday there is more talk than ever about civil war in Iraq. Certainly something seems to be happening, but Strategy Page I think is correct that it is not a civil war because that would imply the Sunnis are able to fight back effectively, but rather is […]

They admire and promote Jihadism in the tradition of Al Jazira, which is to say they support terrorists and their ideology.  Watch this Vent with Michelle Malkin from HotAir .

Its all going according to The Plan, Ariel Sharon's Plan.  Or at least, that's what I think so far.  If you pay attention to the news at all you know that Israel is at war right now in Gaza and Lebanon.  You've no need to look here for coverage of who is planning what or […]

Those wacky North Koreans are in the news again today because off all the missile tests they've been launching, 7 so far. Perhaps its meant as a salute to the USA on its birthday, the 4th of July? Sort of really large fireworks… no I don't think so either. The Strategy Page […]

There's a report out today that some Republicans in Congress are talking about cutting our donation to the U.N. in response to their continued corruption and refusal to reform. Its a nice idea but the proposed cuts are really laughable:
At least $17 million has been sliced this week from the Bush administration's appropriations request […]

The word has been rumbling around for a few years that soon technology would be able to grow teeth. Generally it was assumed or discussed as coming from biotechnology, and that's on the way too at some point. But there is something coming out sooner than that, in fact a device that can […]

Yesterday the AP put out such a stunningly biased article in an attempt to sway the public on such a critical subject that the U.S. Senate Committee with jurisdiction over the matter was moved to correct the AP. The AP implied yesterday that U.S. experts in climatology unanimously agreed that Al Gore's movie […]

Heh.  Couldn't help myself with that title.  For a bit of fun you might try watching today's Vent from Hot Air about Global Warming.

You'll see and hear a lot about this in the news over the next few days I would expect, but at a minimum this announcement means one clear thing:  Saddam Hussein was in violation of U.N. mandates and the treaty signed at the end of the first Gulf War that ended hostilities.  It is really […]

CNN has a poll out today that has a number of interesting numbers, of course the most reported being about Sen. Hillary Clinton.  Here are the numbers from CNN (emphasis added):
Regarding potential Democratic candidates, 47 percent of respondents said they would "definitely not vote for" both Clinton, the junior senator from New York who […]

North Korea is acting up again, having fueled a new missile with dramatically longer range for a test.  The reports of the range of this new missile are conflicting and range from "possibly reaching Alaska" to "possibly reaching any place in the continental US".  Most reports agree it will be able to hit some targets […]

There is the longstanding and ongoing debate between those who primarily favor "stability" in the world, and those who favor change.  It used to be that it was Conservatives that made the case for Realpolitik and continued "stability" while the Leftward side of the political spectrum argued constantly for "progressive change" if not outright sweeping […]

I know it isn’t exactly the hot sport in the U.S., but back when we hosted the Fifa World Cup I have to admit I picked up a liking for the event.  Any sport taken to its highest level is exciting and this highest level of international soccer, or football as the rest of the […]

The fact that Al Gore is the guy promoting a movie intended to have political impact really ought to tell you something about the nature of the cause.  Like, that it is political in nature.  Not scientific.  Nothing has changed really, only this time he’s trying to use the "global warming" boogyman to force his […]

Many people have this lingering perception that everything is going wrong in the U.S., and especially in Iraq, and that consequently our military MUST be having problems recruiting.  There was a spate of stories a bit over a year ago making that case when the military was missing quotas for a few months, but of […]

Bolton’s office (HT to Powerline for the link):

I’m almost sympathetic for the guy really.  It has to be pretty hard to be used to such a monolithically socialist/leftist media environment like that in Europe and then come to the U.S. and suddenly be presented with unsettlingly different ideas.  After all, how dare anyone criticize the U.N.?!  Why, EVERYONE knows the U.N. is […]

The Washington Times has an article today that usefully illustrates why the House is being so strong in opposition to the President and the Senate’s proposed amnesty plan.  The polling has been twisted around in every way possible to try to support pre-determined political choices, but when it comes down to brass tacks it turns […]
