The Democrats can be "thanked" for killing the anti-gun juvenile justice bill. ...

On May 18, Azerbaijan registered an official protest with Beijing, claiming that China sold Armenia eight Typhoon missiles in a deal brokered by Moscow. Recent military cooperation among Moscow, Beijing, and Armenia reveals that the CIS strategic alliance has been dramatically redrawn. This development could result in an intensification of already existing regional conflicts between the former member countries of the Soviet empire. ANALYSIS On May 18, Azerbaijan registered an official protest with Beijing, claiming that China sold eight Typhoon missiles (with a range of 37 miles) to Armenia. Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Tofig Zulfugarov further claimed that the weapons were ...

At 7:30 this evening, I had my TV tuned to the Cartoon Channel and, in place of the dose of animated silliness I was expecting, they screened something called Just Think. I watched a couple of minutes of it, and it was typical daytime PBS classroom 'educational' fare, featuring a studio full of the ethnically and culturally diverse (including the ubiquitous woman repeating everything in sign) sitting around on wooden crates discussing how it hurts to be called bad names. Umm-hmm. What it was doing on the Cartoon Channel (which I have never known to run anything but cartoons), I ...

John Coleman writes: "There have been a large number of callers who have asked about Jamie Shea, the British spokesperson for NATO." "They want to know where Shea gets his vocabulary?" "It so happens that I can answer that. Shea is a brain-washed product of the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations and while his simpering, sneering, smiling lack of style may be his own, the words he uses come straight out of the Tavistock Training Manual. Shea is a British Fascist above all else." Where else would this clown have come by phrases such as "precision-guided ordnance" when what he ...

Just one week after President Clinton explained that he authorized a military attack to enforce ethnic amity in the Balkans, the Senate Appropriations Committee last Thursday quietly and unanimously voted $20 million in start-up money to equip a Kosovo "self-defense force." It definitely will not be in the business of promoting good feelings between Albanian and Serb. The Clinton administration made no objection to the appropriation pressed by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). While insisting it was not a continuation of his long crusade to arm the Kosovo Liberation Army, McConnell told me "some of those folks" in the new U.S.-trained ...

Beijing Buys Russian Sukhoi-30 Aircraft Hong Kong, June 21 (CNA) Moscow has decided to sell 72 of its front-line Sukhoi-30 jet fighter-bombers to Beijing, which will certainly strengthen the mainland's air combat capacity and boost its ties with Russia. According to a report appearing Monday in The Hong Kong Standard, following years of negotiations, Russian President Boris Yeltsin has given the green light to sell three squadrons of the state-of-art combat aircraft to the mainland. The report quoted Russian-based diplomats as saying that Moscow and Beijing had agreed in principle to negotiations on the sale during mainland Chinese Premier Zhu ...

While the Republicans in Washington claim to be scandalized over reports that Bill Clinton's re-election campaign received money payments from rich foreigners, none of them seems to be upset that the rich U.S. government is openly paying right-wing politicians and the counter-revolutionary media in Yugoslavia. The Zajedno opposition in Yugoslavia seeks to overthrow the government headed by Slobodan Milosevic. Its primary backing comes from the U.S. government. Its leaders are anti-socialist counter-revolutionaries, ultra-nationalists and religious monarchists. Although Zajedno failed to win working-class support, the Western media played up and exaggerated its daily rallies. After great pressure from the U.S. government ...

The worst national security disaster in history came about because President Clinton had loyalties not to foreign communists, but to the Chinese funders who got him elected. Thanks to the Cox Report, we now know that the seven years of the Clinton presidency have coincided with the most massive breach of military security in American history. As a result of the calculated degrading of security controls at America's nuclear laboratories, the Chinese communists have been able to steal the designs of our arsenal of nuclear weapons, including our most advanced warheads. As a result of the 1993 Clinton decision to ...

Subj: GUNS and GOP Backbone Date: 06/08/99 12:12:13 PM Mountain Daylight Time From: JAZZsGAL To: senator_allard@exchange.senate.gov Senator Allard: PLEASE stop the Republican cave-in and desertion of your constituents. We DO NOT need more gun control, and allowing the Dems to push their agenda with the Republican help is eroding precious rights that will have to be fought for, when restoration of the Constitution finally becomes the VOGUE for Republicans. We the people are fed up with our elected representatives falling down on their duty to uphold what WE deem appropriate positions. STOP WEAKENING> The spineless GOP has nearly allowed Bill ...

The most difficult championship in all of professional sports is now in Dallas, Texas. The first time below the Mason-Dixon line, the first time in the Stars' history, the changing of the guard from the frigid north. Hail Ed Belfour and the Stars. We are proud of the new "America's Team."

Paris, Tuesday, June 22, 1999Seeking Rules for Justified 'Humanitarian' WarBy Michael Elliott Newsweek.NEW YORK - It is natural to conclude that Kosovo was a just war; that NATO was right to fight against those who were capable of such barbarity. When he heard what the troops had found last week, President Bill Clinton said to aides that if NATO had not intervened, ''We wouldn't have been able to sleep at night.'' Those of us who were uneasy about a war in which no NATO country had a pressing national interest at stake will now be expected to admit that ...

http://www.drudgereport.com/Weiss/weiss.htm A VIEW FROM HERE by deb weiss Attack of the Concerned Advocates June 21, 1999 When conservatives complain about media bias -- a favorite sport for many of us, especially when bad weather keeps us indoors -- we tend to focus on the obvious political prejudices of journalists. We snarl at the smirking pro-Clintonism of network newsreaders. We sputter with outrage at the partisan verb games journalists play (Republicans "attack," Democrats "point out"). We fume when unpopular Congressional actions are chalked up to "the Republican-dominated Congress," while news about popular legislation generally begins, "Today, under a cloudless sky, a ...

I have done much soul searching over the last few days. I’ve come to the conclusion that we Christians should not get angry with those who seek to rebuke us. Several postings by non-believers directed at Christians (seeking to defend their values) are worthy of note. It’s my belief we should take the posts directed at us and learn from them. We must understand that these posters, while possibly seeking to flame-us, are in fact rendering us a service. They are teaching us where our faults lie, and pointing us in the direction of unity with all. Please review the ...
