Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham provided a slew of updates about the Senate Judiciary Committee’s investigation into Crossfire Hurricane on Sunday and teased “damning” revelations that he said will soon be made public. “There’s a day of reckoning,” Graham said in an interview on Fox News “Sunday Morning Futures.” On Thursday, Graham released a declassified FBI memo that said that the bureau opened a counterintelligence investigation in 2009 against the primary source for dossier Christopher Steele, a Russia analyst identified as Igor Danchenko. The FBI investigated whether Danchenko was illegally working as a Russian agent. Graham said that the...

Patrick J. Buchanan's new contribution to the flourishing genre of World War II revisionism, should appear in the same season as Nicholson Baker's "Human Smoke." Never has there been such a clear demonstration of the way ideological extremes tend to converge. Messrs. Baker and Buchanan probably could not stand to be in the same room for five minutes. The former is to the left of most Democrats, the latter to the right of most Republicans. When they look back to the 1930s, Mr. Baker's role models are the Quakers and pacifists who believed it was better to lie down for...

"Today’s Rasmussen Reports daily tracking poll has recorded the highest level of strong disapproval yet for the rookie president. 43 percent of voters strongly disapprove of the job he is doing as president, while only 26% of the nation’s voters strongly approve of his performance. That gives Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -17. One reason voters are becoming increasingly unhappy with the president is that he and his fellow Democrats in the Congress are pursing policies which are opposed by most Americans. For example, Rasmussen Reports tracking of the health care legislation working its way around Capitol Hill...

Has California's day of fiscal reckoning, postponed for years by political tricks and hide-the-pea financial schemes, finally arrived? It might seem so, as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared Thursday that the recession has taken a huge bite out of the state budget, overwhelming the new taxes that he and the Legislature enacted just three months ago to close an already immense deficit. There are a couple of ways of looking at Schwarzenegger's declaration that the 2009-10 deficit had jumped from supposedly zero just three months ago to as much as $21.3 billion if voters don't suddenly change their minds and approve...

Passing off the Carbon Tax as "climate revenues," Obama hides largest tax increase in bloated big-government budget CHESAPEAKE, Va., March 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- While some media outlets are reporting more than $1 trillion in new taxes in the Obama budget, Grassfire.org has identified more than $1.6 trillion, and possibly as much as $2.2 trillion. "The President's 'carbon tax' is the single biggest tax-increasing item in his budget, and the largest in history," says Steve Elliott, President of Grassfire.org. According to Grassfire.org researchers examining the official published documents on the budget, the $645 billion in carbon taxes pushes the total tax...

WASHINGTON – Standing before a nation on an economic precipice, President Barack Obama told worried Americans Tuesday night the U.S. has reached a dire "day of reckoning" that will require boldness and long-term vision to create lasting revival and prosperity. "The time to take charge of our future is here," Obama said, delivering his first address to a joint session of Congress just five weeks into his presidency. Along with his warnings, he had reassuring words. "Tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than...

How did the United States of America, the richest nation on earth, whose economy represents 30 percent of the Global Economy, arrive at the precipice of a financial panic and collapse? The answer lies in the abject failure of both America's financial elite and the political elite of both parties -- the same elites now working together to determine how much of our wealth will be needed to bail the nation out of the crisis of their own creation. Big Government is riding to the rescue -- saddlebags full of our tax dollars -- to save us from the consequences...

Pat Buchanan is too patriotic to come right out and say it, but the message of his new book, "Day of Reckoning," is that America as we have known her is finished. Moreover, Naomi Wolf agrees with him. These two writers of different political persuasions arrive at America's demise from different directions. Buchanan explains how hubris, ideology and greed have torn America apart. A neoconservative cabal with an alien agenda captured the Bush administration and committed American blood, energy and money to aggression against Muslim countries in the Middle East, while permitting America's domestic borders to be overrun by immigrants...

Pat Buchanan's latest book, "Day of Reckoning: How Hubris, Ideology, and Greed Are Tearing America Apart," paints a gloomy picture...At home, Buchanan says, our political leaders can't get it together to protect our southwestern borders from an invasion of illegal immigrants. And because they nearly all idolize the ideology of "free trade," we can't preserve our jobs, industries or the value of our currency.... Q: What must we do first and foremost about foreign policy? A: One, a complete review of all of America's commitments to go to war on behalf of foreign nations and basically letting some of these...

NEW BUCHANAN BOOK DECLARES 'END OF AMERICA' Sun Nov 25 2007 20:40:15 ET **Exclusive** “America is coming apart, decomposing, and...the likelihood of her survival as one nation...is improbable -- and impossible if America continues on her current course," declares Pat Buchanan. "For we are on a path to national suicide.” The best-selling author and former presidential candidate is on the eve of launching his new epic book: DAY OR RECKONING: HOW HUBRIS, IDEOLOGY AND GREE ARE TEARING AMERICA APART. This time, Buchanan goes all the way: "America is in an existential crisis from which the nation may not survive." The...

The bill has died. Trust me, no one will be sitting shiva for it at HH.com, and not just because I’m the only one who knows what “sitting shiva” means. Actually, Medved also knows what “sitting shiva” means, and maybe he’ll be doing it on behalf of everyone else at Townhall who is instead celebrating like it’s VJ Day. (Reports that Matt Lewis surprised Mary Katherine Ham with a kiss like the one seen in the picture of above are unconfirmed.) So where do we go from here? Let’s take ‘em one by one, starting with the biggest winners and...

Dan Rather's Day of Reckoning From the October 4, 2004 issue: It didn't start with Rathergate. by John Podhoretz 10/04/2004, Volume 010, Issue 04   What if, some day or night, a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to...

NEW YORK - As the world's collective attention remains rightly on the US-led war in Iraq and the effort to oust Saddam Hussein, another brutal dictator thousands of miles away continues to inflict unprecedented violence and terror upon his own people, largely under the global radar. Two days of national strikes organized last month by Zimbabwe's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) protesting dictator Robert Mugabe's regime have resulted in hundreds of arrests, at least one death, and allegations of widespread torture by police and government forces. Mr. Mugabe's own day of reckoning, however, may be near. The opposition MDC kept...

<p>The White House yesterday declared that Saddam Hussein's regime is finished in Iraq on the war's 24th day, as U.S. intelligence agencies are picking up reports that Saddam is dead.</p> <p>"Indeed, the regime has ended," said presidential spokesman Ari Fleischer.</p>

The streets of the Kurdish capital, Erbil, filled with American, Iraqi and Kurdish flags yesterday as tens of thousands took to the street to celebrate the demise of the regime. Kurdish Iraqis celebrate in the northern Iraqi town of Arbil "Saddam, the criminal, the murderer, the savage, wild animal is gone," shouted a widow, Fauziya Ali, 45. "The black criminal, perpetrator of Halabja, is dead," she said. Halabja, a town that bore the brunt of Saddam Hussein's genocidal attempt to quell the Kurds with nerve agents and chemical weapons, is foremost among the reasons that the Kurdish people hunger for...

Yesterday, the television viewers of the world watched the film version of Shelley's famous poem Ozymandias. The poet imagines a broken statue of a great tyrant from "an antique land". His "shattered visage" lies nearby with its "wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command". On the pedestal is written: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look upon my works ye mighty, and despair!" No such words were inscribed on the statue of Saddam Hussein that Iraqis and Americans pulled down in central Baghdad yesterday, but the message for the Arab world could not have been clearer: you do not...
