I haven’t written much about this today because 1) I’ve been at work and 2) I had a feeling that it was a thinly veiled hit piece designed to take Cain off his stride. It was too thin to have any lasting substance, but just enough to stop people from noticing how unfavorably Obama comes…
Those of you who have read my letters, columns and blog over the years know that I not only believe in a smaller government, I believe in a more localized one. This is set forth in the Tenth Amendment, ratified in 1791, presented here in its entirety: The powers not delegated to the United States…
Since I seem to be on a “choosing” kick today, here’s another post from the groove-yard of forgotten favorites…originally written as a “letter to the editor” and never submitted. The big question that faces us in 2012 and beyond, and has been the 800 pound gorilla for a while – the crazy relative in the…
I woke up this morning (I’m in Edinburgh, Scotland) to the Politico “revelation” about Herman Cain. I was going to write about it but Maggie at Maggie’s Notebook has already said exactly what I was going to say. Cain just recently said that he was ready for a “high tech lynching” and his enemies on…
In discussing many contemporary situations and people, not just in the political arena but in real life as well, many times these phrases come up: I don’t believe that “progressives” are evil, what they believe is wrong. Or: They seem to want the best for America, they just are going about it the wrong way.…
Victor Davis Hanson reminds us of a tactic used in the Obama campaign of 2008 – the deployment of Michelle Obama as a political weapon. She was used to great effect by the campaign to energize and gain support within the cadre of liberal feminists and to play identity politics within the community of black…
Scott Johnson at Powerline posts: Steven Den Beste comments on Steve Hayward’s population bomb post: Isn’t it interesting that no matter what the current global crisis is, according to leftists, the solution is always the same: a benevolent world dictatorship of the enlightened elite, and mass transfer of wealth from rich nations to poor nations.…
…or maybe “wrong place, wrong time”? From The Sun in the UK… THESE were the scenes of devastation after a man’s lawnmower set fire to his neighbours’ house, car, caravan and motorbike. Shed … set fire to fence Flames quickly destroyed his shed and leapt to a fence shared with neighbours Shaun and Jackie…
…wouldn’t this be enough reason for more investigation? It was hailed as the scientific study that ended the global warming debate once and for all – the research that, in the words of its director, ‘proved you should not be a sceptic, at least not any longer’. Professor Richard Muller, of Berkeley University in California,…
President Obama recently lamented that the American people have lost the ability to do big things. In a speech, he whined: “…lost our ambition, our imagination, and our willingness to do the things that built the Golden Gate Bridge.” Surprisingly, I agree with the President – somewhat unsurprisingly, I disagree as to why. I don’t…
This really isn’t an #Occupy[yournamehere] post. It is an illustration of the synchronicity of the contemporary media with the “progressive” movement of today and how willing they are to create an illusion for the express purpose of advancing that agenda. It is alarming that, with all the evidence of history available to us, we have…
There are moments that stop you dead in your tracks. Moments when you are simply frozen in complete and total disbelief. I had one of these when I saw this at Drudge…then I read it and just got angry. Jonathan Alter is apparently serving a role as the court concubine for Obama. I have no…
By popular demand, TRNL presents one of the first and perhaps THE classic Bond Girl – Ursula Andress from the 1962 Bond film, Dr. No. WARNING – I have exercised my free speech rights to post nekkid pictures below. Ursula did many photo sessions in a disrobed state. Ursula was not much of an actress…
Around the horn: Reaganite Republican: KNOW YOUR ENEMY! ‘Miss Russia 2011’ Natalia Gantimurova The Camp of the Saints: A Little Hump Day Rule 5: Cher Butler and Rule 5 Saturday Maggie’s Notebook: Rule 5 Saturday Night: Curvy Girls Innocent Bystanders: Baseball is My Favorite Sport The Classic Liberal has this… Jake Finnegan has this Burkalesque…
This is from my stack of stuff that I just haven’t had time to get to. From the Financial Times: Recently I met a retired British diplomat who claimed with some pride that he was the man who had invented the phrase, “the management of decline”, to describe the central task of British foreign policy…
Perhaps the most significant accomplishment in the post-WWII world was the initiation of Public Law 472, otherwise known as the Marshall Plan. In the current era of European anti-Americanism and the purposeful denigration of America’s greatness and global leadership in the 20th Century by a “progressive” intelligentsia, this 4 year plan of rebuilding financed by…
FOX News is claimed to be right wing, to have a right wing bias. I’m not convinced that they are. Just because an outlet presents and explores right of center positions that others won’t, that doesn’t constitute bias. I am right of center, have called myself a libertarian leaning conservative but as Black3 points out,…
So, many on the left are claiming that cleaning out the #Occupy[yournamehere] protesters is tantamount to depriving them of their constitutional rights of freedom of assembly and speech. Ejected or about to be in: Atlanta and LA. What about requiring permits and a fee for the Tea Party and not for the communist rabble? I…
Warning – before you click on this post or scroll down, you need to know that there is nakedness present here. Sweet, gorgeous nakedness but nakedness nonetheless…so if such things offend your sensibilities, do not click here. Ye have been warned… By suggestion of a favorite reader and sometimes contributor, we begin a series…this will…
…everybody, apparently. Maetenloch at AOSHQ points to this… It is a mapping of stereotypes over the world. I think that it is meant to be satirical but is pretty damn funny in its accuracy! Enjoy… Click here for larger version. And now for the Greeks:
