What a moron, Robert Gibbs gives out NBC Chuck Todd's e-mail on live television, Chuck Todd was just asking for clarification on Obama wanting a Health Care bill, and Obama signing one...(Video)

The day of the Fort Hood massacre I heard on either ABC or CNN radio that a second suspect had been arrested by military personnel a few miles away at a golf course. We've heard jack since then. I'm a little curious especially since we were told the main shooter was dead for several hours then made a miraculous recovery later in the day. I wonder what Hoekstra knows...

From Tun Tavern to Afghanistan, The US Marines are a cut above. "A Few Good Men" is an understatement. Pound for pound, the most dangerous warrior on the planet is a Marine and his Rifle.... For those of us who share this Brotherhood, This is not rhetoric, it is fact. How many men and women in the history of the world are or have been US Marines? Not many. I celebrate our birthday by thinking of you, my brothers and sisters, and pray you are kept safe. Dragonmarine

A soldier turning on his comrades at Fort Hood, an Afghan policeman killing the British soldiers who trained him - two uncannily similar events in two days, but incidents which, across the Western world, security authorities have been planning for and dreading. Since the Mumbai attacks counter-terrorism planning has seen a major shift. Those charged with thwarting or reacting to future terror attacks were alarmed by Mumbai. The shootings in Afghanistan and Fort Hood carry echoes of the atttacks in India with the added danger that the enemy has come from within. The new-style of attack relies not on the...

Are some liberals and progressives beginning to figure out that 1 + 1 doesn't equal 3, and that the national debt is exploding to the degree that even they feel a bit quesy? You know the health care reform bill is in trouble when even self-proclaimed "Progressives" (aka: liberals) are worried about the mammoth bill's cost and its effect on the already out-of-control budget deficit.

Mitch McConnell on Foxnews Greta says that health care is in doubt in the Senate and that the Dem Leadership will have to convince a number of Democrats to "take a bullet for the team" for passage...(Video)

12 American Soldiers are dead. But their deaths did not come at the hand of foreign fighters on some far-flung battlefield. They came on the American Homeland. But where is the outrage? Do we hear the clamor of the American “elites” from Hollywood or Washington or Wall Street? We hear nothing. We hear the deafening silence of those that still think 9/11 was some terrible hangover from the liberal idealism that they touted in the bars the night before.

Here are some details of the upcoming book tour. I’m starting in Michigan, and you’ll understand why when you read the book. Last year, I made a promise to the good people of Michigan that I would be back, and now I’m keeping that promise. (Michigan is near and dear to my family’s heart! Our eldest son, Track, lived with a great host family there during his hockey days.) From Michigan, the “Going Rogue” tour will cover as much of the country as possible. I’ve decided to stop in cities that are not usually included in a typical book tour....

According to Bill O’Reilly’s week long poll it is Governor Sarah Palin: Sarah Palin: 30% Huckabee: 29% Romney: 25% Gingrich:16% I find it odd that the numbers were only announced by Mr O’Reilly and not released. I would say the results are actually much better for Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin typically has a much larger margin of victory against the three respectable but boring Huckabee, Romney & Gingrich. But a win is still a win. I thought it was interesting what Huckabee had to say about Sarah Palin...

When the initial news reports started pouring out of Fort Hood about the mass murder (read terrorist attack) of some of America’s finest, I turned to my wife and daughter and without hesitation said, “I’ll bet you a hundred bucks it was a Muslim.” I was spot on. But shame on me for thinking such a thing, right? (Yeah, those of us who immediately thought that the murderer, given the circumstances, had to be a Muslim, we’re the bad guys.) Yep, a Religion of Peace adherent, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, as you well know by now, opened fire as he...

John Allen Muhammed, the Beltway Sniper, is sentenced to die by lethal injection tomorrow evening at nine o’clock. The Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal. It is not expected that Virginia Governor Tim Kaine will intervene. I’m not sure whether I should say, “Let God have mercy on him,” or “May he rot in hell.” A little of both, I think.

While non-Muslims are arguing amongst ourselves over if there really is an Islamic threat, Iran with their hard line cabinet, and the anti-Israel Turkish government, are joining hands in unity. Hopefully we will figure this all out before it is too late. Iran and Turkey foster relations at Islam summit Iran and Turkey are expected to take their improving relations a step further at an international Islamic summit in Istanbul starting today. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was warmly welcomed by his Turkish counterpart Abdulah Gul.

The FBI issued a press release today, November 9, in which they said Major Malik Nidal Hasan was noticed by them as early as December 2008. His activities at the time attracted the interest of "one of their Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs)." Hasan was communicating with the subject of an unrelated investigation by the JTTF team. They stated that a review of the interaction between Hasan and the subject of the JTTF investigation ...

This morning, in an article by Lt. Colonel Allen B. West (US Army, ret.) about the Ft. Hood terrorist attack, a phrase arrested my attention: "The Saudis are not our friends and any American political figure who believes such is delusional." It took my mind back to the days when I was hosting a commentary show on MSNBC. I remember on several occasions presenting thoughts based on the theme, 'the Saudis are not our friends.' (Not long after came the events that led to the demise of the show.) And that was before the current corrupt Party system produced an...

Writing on his website, which used to be called “New Majority” until he got tired of people laughing at him, David Frum published an essay called “The Palin Fantasy” over the weekend. Even as the House of Representatives was preparing to pass the most blatantly unconstitutional assault on America’s freedom in Congressional history, Frum found something really outrageous to write about: Matthew Continetti’s admiring essay on Sarah Palin’s populist appeal. It’s a good thing Frum has his priorities in order. We wouldn’t want Palin to get into office and drop a few trillion dollars of unsustainable debt on us. Frum...

What happened to the America we all once knew and loved? The land of - baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet. The land of the free and the home of the brave. A country where its citizens felt safe and happy and proud to proclaim, “God bless America!” It seems like those noble ideals which made our country strong and great are fast slipping away and being replaced by the strange and bizarre. As some of our readers may recall, the Bizarro World was a fictitious planet in the DC comics universe, first appearing in the early 1960s. In...

"There's just something about Sarah Palin." That's all Charlie Sykes had to say before the crowd went wild. The Milwaukee talk radio personality hosted a Wisconsin Right to Life fund-raiser headlined by the former Alaskan governer and GOP vice presidential candidate before a packed house at State Fair Expo Center on Friday. The price of admission included a T-shirt that says it all: "America's Conservative Conscience." Palin made news recently for putting "principle over party," a radical notion for some. But "Going Rogue" (the name of her new book) is part of Palin's signature appeal to middle America. And middle...

In the twenties the Belfour declaration was signed by Britton allowing Jews to immigrate to Palastine. In 1939 the McDonald White declaration was a reversal of the Belfour declaration because the Britts were beholding to the 80 million islamists who rejected the immigration of Jews to Palastine. The extermination and persecution of Jews by Hitler had started and some were attempting to escape to the Holy land. Noteworthy is at that time there were 400.000 Arabs in Palastine and 80,000 Jews. Thanks to the Britts who blockaded the entries to Palastine, 6 million European Jews were slaughtered. All to appease...

Senator Lindsey Graham, explains to us how the Fort Hood attack is certainly not about Islam, or the war. Unfortunately the words and actions of Malik Hasan clearly show us otherwise. Reality is not Graham's strong point.

Last one for the night. Was out for the day so got behind on my post. And we picked up more authors today. This is a great video, reminds you why we do what we do! This is an awesome video. Reminds me why I am so proud to be an American. I will never forget the morning of September 11th 2001. Video provided by Nashville 9/12 project. Don't know how to embed YouTube video so gotta visit the link to watch this video.

Here is the card that major Muslim Nidal Hasan gave to the infidels along with a quran before meeting his 72 raisins. Could this lowlife jihadi be any more devout? He mosqued every day. Hated America, hated the troops, proselytized his co-workers, planned his jihad and completed his mission. His head was shaved. What else was shaved? If his body was shaved like his head, then the military guys and law enforcement know and have known that this was jihad, and they are scamming us now. Now look at the card. Notice the SoA on the card? Soldiers of Allah....

Not PIMPING, but if you got a sec, please drop JMFuentes a comment of encouragement. He needs it! We can't afford to lose a fighter. " I need a breather. I don't know how much longer I can continue fighting this fight before I just say "screw it" and bail. That's what I was thinking this morning as I drove into work. This Country is under attack from all sides. A muslim extremist perpetrates the first successful, planned attack on American Soil since September 11th; Progressives threaten to take apart the free market system "brick by brick" (Andy Stern), and...

I've lived in Moslem countries, on assignment, for many years. These are my observations and conclusions. Our country, government, and the politically correct crowd really need to wake up. The ‘Religion of Peace’ Islamists are not now and will never be an integral part of this nation. They owe their allegiance to Islam only, and seek to infest the rest of the world with the malice and hatred fostered by Mohammed in the Koran. Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has stated quite clearly that this is the case and has all the facts to back up his statements. Europe has...

Considering the major challenges the American citizens are facing everyday trying to stay informed about the current legislations that are so rapidly being forced upon us , millions of citizens , like me, have become unusually active within their communities and involved with local politics. Searching daily for inspiration on another direction from which to tackle these challenges , I very often stumble across surprising and eye opening facts . Recently , it was brought to my attention that the “Citizens Grand Jury “ once known as the “Common Law Grand Jury , and rooted in the Magna Carta ,...

When is the truth more important than a politically correct form of censorship called moderation? Censorship of any form is an injustice no matter how polite it is touted to be. Censorship controls opinion and is a tool of the court used to preserve the opinions of a jury by removing all but presented evidence. That is how powerful a tool censorship is. Who ought be allowed to censor and still be legitimate? It certainly isn't the province of any media to alter content or reject it utterly unless it contains useless foul language. The free press isn't free if...

New York - The birthday boy was turning 6, and my own young son and I arrived at the celebration in our somewhat loose definition of party clothes: Timothy in his best bluejeans and a tiny button-down shirt with stripes the colors of popsicles. The party room was filled with balloons; parents drinking coffee; a stray baby sister or two; and a dozen little boys, more than half of whom were dressed in various pieces of camouflage sportswear. Together, they suggested a small army squad. For a moment, I thought I must have missed something in the invitation – that...

The DUmmies are going rabid again over Joe Lieberman over the fact that he will act to block the ObamaCare bill coming to the Senate. Rabid DUmmies are also FUnnie DUmmies as you can see in this THREAD, "It's Official: Lieberman going to Block Senate HCR Bill." Since I am currently busy preparing for my big Caribbean adventure this weekend on Culebra, I'll keep this intro short but sweet. This also means I probably won't be able to post another DUFU edition until I get back. Perhaps I will even regale you with how we were able to travel...

Ok, what are we to make of this tweet from Mary Katherine Ham…(via J$) On @oreillyfactor with @marclamonthill (Juan’s out) at 8ish, talking Iran and Obama. Tune in to see us! After Hill’s very public “firing” by Rupert Murdoch no less, seeing Hill back on FNC this soon is rather odd. I mean there isn’t even a wind chill in Hades yet…

I'm watching Bill O'reilly (I know, I know) and radical leftist Marc Lamont Hill is back on the factor as a substitute for Juan Williams. Looks like he wasn't fired after all?

Ok, so I love the Old Cowboy's show. He's funny, sarcastic, irreverent, grouchy, and mean - in a nice sort of way. He's a radio genius right? He knows how to play the left and the right, great interviewer. So what's the problem you ask? Now I realize some really won't care about my "problem" here... but I'm going to say it anyway, as I'm sure I'm not alone. You see....I'm a Christian, and

On November 5th, 2009 Nidal Malik Hasan, like some grotesque counter-part to Jimmy Stewart’s angelic guide in It’s A Wonderful Life, granted the Leftists their wish to see what America would have been like after an Islamic Terror Attack, had George never been born.

From here latest facebook announcement: I’ll Twitter information when the tour starts, so I’ll post our progress from the road. You can follow on Twitter at SarahPalinUSA.Make sure to follow her on Twitter and spread the flyer!

The leaders of the free-West need to wake up and realize that the Islamist demand for a "Palestinian" state, in the heart of Israel's Judea and Samaria, is part of Imperial Islam's strategy to subjugate and bring the non-Muslim world into submission to Islam. Just as the Islamist demand for a " Bangsamoro" state in the southern Philippines is also a part of this same global jihad.This is the Islamist strategy. Once Muslims attain a small, but significant, percentage of the population in a non-Muslim country, then they start both political and militant jihad campaigns demanding concessions of territory.  The word "Bangsamoro" means "Muslim State". "Moro" comes from the Spanish "Moor", meaning...

Another moving and educational video of the Berlin Wall. A little over 9 minutes. May be worth your while. Video

I'm posting this thread earlier than usual this year due to the economy, people looking for good buys, and as a help for you to make a shopping list. Please add to this thread. I'll update this thread through CyberMonday. Happy Shopping. Cindy

You have worked long and hard to reach a high profile position, as those who came before you had. You did everything that was asked of you, and more. You believed in a system that told you all you had to do was work hard, pay attention to detail, excel in your efforts, show exceptional dedication, and demonstrate professionalism better than those around you. You also knew that the system was a meritocracy based on fair, established rules that everyone agreed upon. Why wouldn't you believe that? Those in positions of authority, those whose word was gold, those who asked...

Nick is putting on his battle gear and getting ready for a redeployment to serve his community and country once again. Cross your fingers and say a little prayer for us. We thank you for all the support you all gave our family during OIF1 and OIF2 when Nick came home wounded. Thank you for your prayers. Tomorrow is The Marine Corps Birthday and Nick will be making his Official announcement for his candidacy. What a way to celebrate our Marine Corps Birthday. Have a blessed Veterans Day, April Popaditch

Better late than never (I hope). According to CBS sources when the President comes back from his trip to China, he will announce his new plan for Afghanistan. Thankfully it looks as if President Obama will give his hand picked General close to what he asked for CBS News correspondent David Martin reports that the president will send a lot more troops and plans to keep a large force there, long term. The president still has more meetings scheduled on Afghanistan, but informed sources tell CBS News he intends to give Gen. Stanley McChrystal most, if not all, the additional...

President Obama continues to urge Americans not to jump to conclusions when it come to the Fort Hood Islamist mass murderer Major Nidal Malik Hasan. At the same time the administration is trying to prevent informed conclusions from being developed. So far most of the information revealed about Hasan have been outed through anonymous leaks. For example reports of his Jihadist speeches to doctors at Walter Reed, and his contact with the terrorist advising Imam were both supplied by the UK Telegraph, and his out reach to al Qaeda was leaked to ABC. Rep. Pete Hoekstra is getting tired of...

MORE THOUGHTS CONCERNING FT HOOD Maybe one of these days people will realize that hating one’s country, whether for religious reasons or otherwise, is more than adding another colour thread to society’s rich tapestry but wicked, warped, and very, very dangerous. --NINME, from Quote of the Day–So far via SondrakRemember Obama's Cairo apologia? He'd probably you just as soon forget what he said back in early June. "The attacks of September 11th, 2001 and the continued efforts of these extremists to engage in violence against civilians has led some in my country to view Islam as inevitably hostile not only...

Leo Donofrio, Esq. wants the “right” plaintiff to bring a quo warranto action against putative President Obama under 16 D.C.Code Secs. 3501-3503 in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia. He in effect maintains that quo warranto is an exclusive remedy available to remove Obama from office. He maintains that Obama may be removed from office only through a quo warranto action and that the DC District Court is the only court in the United States where such an action may be brought. I recently wrote an article about this issue, entitled The DC District Court Is Not...

It's time for a policy change in the American military. "Don't ask, don't tell" may have seemed like a good compromise in 1993 but makes no sense in a post 9/11 world where the average soldier worries far more about getting fragged by an al Qaeda sympathizer in their platoon than whether their bunkmate is a little light in their government issued boots. This report from ABC news should make your jaw drop: U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials...

One of the things we’ll do is make sure that we’re reaching out to the state and local authorities within the US, because they often have better outreach to members of the Muslim community than we do.” DHS Secretary Napolitano said. Despite all evidence to the contrary, the Department of Homeland Security believe it is Muslims at risk after the largest attack on a military base in US history by Muslims. There was no backlash after 911 or after the hundreds of planned Muslim attacks in the US. But the DHS determines the threat is to Muslims. It takes a...

Here is comedian Steven Crowder's latest video where he asked people some simple questions about the Obama administration. Crowder asked people who the Vice President was and the majority had no idea, even when asked "who is Joe Biden?" people did not know...(Video)

With nearly a year in office, we now know without doubt exactly where our own president stands on vital national security matters. He has a track record and has shown his true colors over and over again. In Honduras, he picked the side of the dictator-wannabe without hesitation. He has used every diplomatic weapon at his disposal to destroy the constitutional democracy in Honduras, even cutting off financial aid and blocking diplomatic visas. He went the full gamut of meddling there and made no bones about it. He moved to cancel long-planned missile defense shields for Poland and the Czech...

On November 9, 2009, TV5, the international French TV channel, featured a panel of journalists on the theme of "Barack Obama, and a new vision of the United States in Africa". The Africa's correspondant of the French national newspaper Le Figaro gave a surprising comment : "despite what one can think of George W. Bush's policies, we have to admit that he helped Africa enormously. He had a real plan and vision for this continent. This is not the case anymore with Obama. Obama as no vision for Africa. His speeches are only words." Even the Sudanese journalist agreed :...

When it happened yesterday, we all thought the same thing. Many of us could not (or would not) speak it. Some could not even admit it to themselves that they thought it. Hello, world, his name is Nidal Malik Hasan. Today, in the aftermath, the news media is avoiding saying it with affected contortions of logic, pompous intentional ignorance of recent history and a bland stupidity that make “Sir Arthur” in this classic Beyond the Fringe sketch look like a forensic genius.
