The President finally made the announcement at about 11:30 PM, 90 minutes after the White House announced it would do so, and it is official. We have killed the murderous monster Osama bin Laden. According to the President’s statement (video link), we received intelligence last August about bin Laden’s location and worked the intelligence until [...]

Whatever pretense President Obama might have made of an administration free of shadowy special interests and politics as usual (like how I worked those catch-phrases in there?) have flown away like doves at an Olympic Opening Ceremony. Well, it’s more like they tried to fly away, then burst into flame and rained down on horrified [...]

Andrew Malcolm has unearthed an interesting little tidbit from Karl Rove’s upcoming book. One of the overlooked details of the forever-fight over the widely-debated conservative leanings of the Fox News Channel (besides the fact that a third of its viewers are Democrats) is that it was Fox that broke the then-shocking story in 2000 of [...]

You mean, the Democrats in Congress were politicizing intelligence and almost completely dishonest about it, too? Why…that’s unpossible! In sum, congressional Democrats knew about the program and knew that the dissent of the Justice Department’s senior leadership in 2004 was not about warrantless surveillance.

If you’re really curious why hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans would take to the streets in protest of this President’s policies, I can explain in one picture. When the left and their MSM brethren complain that protesters are hypocritical because they didn’t march against President Bush’s deficits, well, this picture shows you why. Compared [...]

Bush. Obama. Eh, what’s the difference? In February, President Obama’s Justice Department quietly argued in a San Francisco court that it was maintaining the same position as President Bush’s Justice Department on a case involving detainees trying to sue a private company for its role in their (allegedly) extraordinary renditions. The Obama administration pushed the [...]

Yesterday, President Obama signed an order to close Guantanamo Bay by this time next year. As you might expect, that brought cheers from the MSM and exasperation from the right. I’m not in either camp. In fact, I’m in my very own camp. I don’t think that Gitmo will close at all. I think that [...]
