“Knock Knock.” “Who’s There?” “Anwar al-Awlaki.” “Anwar al-Awlaki Wh—BOOM!!”
Today, the administration announced that we put a missile in the face of al-Qaeda’s leading recruiter in the West, Anwar al-Awkali. If you’ve heard Awlaki’s name, it’s likely because he’s been tied to some of the most prominent Islamist attacks on our country in the past couple of years: the Times Square bombing attempt, the [...]
Clearing the Browser Tabs – Ten Years Later and I Still Will Not Submit, 9/11 Sunday Edition
Lan Astaslem, in Arabic, means “I will not submit”. Michelle Malkin has adopted it as a motto for how she lives her life as a citizen of the greatest nation history has ever known. I believe I’ll adopt it myself. I rarely tell my story of 9/11, not because it’s traumatic but because I believe [...]
The Delivery Presents – Eulogy for a Terrorist and the President’s PR Team

The GOP House Intel Chair’s Stunning Display of Insult and Ignorance

I gleaned a few of the more egregious comments from some of the brighter lights of the left-wing commentariat as they posted them on [...]
Osama bin Laden is Now an Ex-Terrorist
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 [...]
Sources: Osama bin Laden is Dead. President: Still Trying to Organize a Press Conference About It
At about 10 PM Eastern, I caught the breaking news on Twitter that the White House had called a 10:30 PM Press conference that would involve major national security news. Speculation (and more than a few jokes) ran rampant for a half hour. I caught tweets that intelligence personnel had been recalled and the military [...]
