From Jennifer Griffin and Lucas Tomlinson\’s article at foxnews.com: The shadowy Iranian Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani recently visited Moscow to meet with senior Russian leaders, according to two Western intelligence sources, despite a travel ban and U.N. Security Council resolutions barring him from leaving Iran. On July 24, one week before Secretary of State John Kerry...
As I write this, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil is at $44.65. Down 27% from June 23, just 6 weeks ago. In my area, gasoline prices are down by less than 10% since that time. When do we get outraged? When do we demand explanations? How about now.
Tonight we have the forum and then the main event in Republican “debates” on Fox: given the number of participants in each, they both should be a zoo. But there\’s plenty going on already. We have Martin O\’Malley, who has gotten nowhere since declaring for the presidency, on a warpath, because the Democrat Party – clearly committed (as of now) to making...
Interesting call I just got. The phone rings, I answer, and: -A male voice asks me if my wife is there (somewhat mispronounced, but clearly my wife). -I ask who is calling. -I am told it is Citizens For A Nuclear Free Iran, and they have a few questions for her. -I tell them my wife is not here, but I can answer their questions. -I\’m told to have a good day...
The transcript of a segment from yesterday\’s edition of “The Kelly File”, in which Charles Krauthammer evaluates President Obama\’s speech on the Iran nuclear “deal”: CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Well, I mean it\’s vintage Obama. The demonization of his opponents, lumping them together with people chanting death to America, I must say is a new low for the...
Not one excerpt for you here. Because if I excerpted this absolutely superb analysis it might encourage you not to read it all (which might take all of three or four minutes). Here is the link. I am urging, even begging, that you use it. Ok, just one “excerpt” – in the form of John\’s last line: Barack Obama is a terrible president, but he is a worse...
Today\’s paragraph(s) – there are two instead of the usual one – come to us from Scott Johnson, writing at powerlineblog.com, where he discusses the speech President Obama made yesterday in which he exhorted congress to approve the “deal” he and John Kerry cooked up with Iran: Obama\’s potted history of the Cold War includes this revealing nugget: “With...
Today\’s quote comes to us from Roger Ailes, President of Fox News and an ongoing target of Jon Stewart throughout his time as anchor of Comedy Central\’s “The Daily Show – which ended with his final broadcast last night: “He\’s been after us for years. Occasionally we pay attention. We think he\’s funny. We never took it seriously and he never made a...
Sometimes, the best defense is a good offense. And if you are the editorial board of the New York Times, ever vigilant in supporting/rationalizing/protecting President Obama and Democrats in general, that philosophy can quickly come into play. In my previous blog, I reviled Mr. Obama for his incredibly ugly comparison of Republicans to the Iranians who, in state-sponsored demonstrations...
Of all the disgusting comments…. This afternoon, President Obama made his pitch for the nuclear “deal” to the country – or, more exactly, to congress, which will be voting on whether to approve it. And – incredibly – he compared Iranians who chant “Death to America!” with Republican who oppose the deal. I swear I am not making...
From Peter Schweizer\’s blog at breitbart.com: Newly released financial disclosures reveal Bill Clinton received $16.46 million in payments from a George Soros-backed for-profit education company, as Hillary Clinton\’s State Department funneled tens of millions of dollars to a group run by the company\’s chairman. With $4 billion in annual revenue, Laureate Education is...
It\’s a few days early, but Newsbusters.org\’s Kristine Marsh has written an excellent, highly informative blog about how completely mainstream media disgraced themselves after Michael Brown was shot and killed by now-former Police Officer Darren Wilson. Here are a few excerpts (but you make a big mistake not to read it all): One year ago this Sunday, 18-year-old Michael Brown was...
It is only August, but I think we have our quote of the year. Because, for sheer mindless stupidity I do not know how anything could possibly beat it. From our Secretary Of State, John Kerry, speaking about congress possibly rejecting the disastrous nuclear “deal” he and President Obama cooked up; the one in which they caved on just about everything; the one that...
Evidently it is not enough to simply rewrite stories the Clinton campaign doesn\’t like. Now we have this. The New York Times, in its “First Draft” blog written by Alan Rappeport, reported that the latest WMUR poll in New Hampshire shows Bernie Sanders, who trailed Hillary Clinton by a ton months ago, and just 10% last month, has pulled to within 6% of Ms. Clinton (42%...
In the previous blog, I talked about the free pass Zimbabwe has gotten, so far, regarding the killing of Cecil the lion.\’ Now let\’s talk about Planned Parenthood\’s free pass. Yesterday, the Center for Medical Progress issued its fifth in a series of undercover videos (with more certain to come), in which a major Planned Parenthood executive made it clear that she viewed...
