Two former Omaha police officers accused of criminal wrongdoing made their first appearances on Tuesday. A Douglas County Judge set bail for James Kinsella at $5,000, meaning the ex-officer must post $500 – or 10 percent – to be released from jail. Kinsella turned himself in at the jail at 7:45 a.m. on a felony charge of evidence tampering and misdemeanor obstruction and theft. He is accused of throwing away a memory card containing video of the arrest of the Johnson brothers near 33rd and Seward Streets.

Speaking in Code I was pleased to see I wasn't the only one who was stunned in the wake of President Barack Hussein Obama's interview with the Muslim world via al Arabiya. It means (at best) that I'm not mad after all -- and at worst I find I'm not alone in my 'delusion'. Obama really did sell us out to the Muslim world during his first week in office. It wasn't my imagination. Obama kicked off his Islamic foreign policy initiative by slamming America as a force for good and agreeing with those Muslims who call America a global...

With friends like Jeremiah Wright, who needs political enemies? America’s Racist-in-Chief’s latest performance at the National Press Club is beginning to look like a deliberate attempt to torpedo Obama’s dreams of becoming Commander-in-Chief.Wright At the National Press Club Wright’s audience included Marion Barry, Cornel West, Malik Zulu Shabazz of the New Black Panther Party and Nation of Islam official Jamil Muhammad. Wright praised Louis Farrakhan, defended the view that Zionism is racism, accused the United States of terrorism, repeated his view that the government created the AIDS virus to cause the genocide of racial minorities, defended cursing America after 9/11...

Jack Kinsella - Commentary The Omega Letter Hating Christ . . . I was reading the comments posted by readers of the Huffington Post in response to a column posted by Max Blumenthal about the "Christians United For Israel Tour" Washington summit meeting, hosted by San Antonio pastor John Hagee... The column was entitled, "Rapture Ready: The Unauthorized Christians United For Israel Tour." Blumenthal's column fairly dripped with hate for Christians in particular, but reserving some for Jews who collaborate with them. "CUFI has added the grassroots muscle of the Christian right to the already potent Israel lobby. Hagee and...

Liberals adrift Warren Kinsella National Post Thursday, August 24, 2006 That's what he said: "evil reptilian kitten eater." It was around noon on Sept. 12, 2003, and Don Guy -- the smart manager of the Ontario Liberal Party campaign -- cupped the phone and looked at me. "They just called us evil reptilian kitten eaters," he said, grinning. I still did not fully comprehend what Guy was saying, but I would soon enough. In an e-mailed press release, the Conservative campaign had called Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty -- then three weeks away from leading his party to a big...

The Hindus await the 'natural ending of the world' during the 'Kali' Age. Note the similarities between the Hindu description of the Kali Age and the Apostle Paul's description of end-times society. "All kings occupying the earth in the Kali Age will be wanting in tranquillity, strong in anger, taking pleasure at all times in lying and dishonesty, inflicting death on women, children, and cows, prone to take the paltry possessions of others, with character that is mostly vial, rising to power and soon

The Patriot Act was passed by acclamation four years ago. And, for the last four years, the enemy has not been able to mount a successful attack against the United States homeland. It would seem that those two facts should be considered in examining the latest uproar being launched by the Left against policies they initially supported. Just after September 11, everybody and their brother was quoting Japanese admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, architect of the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack. Upon hearing of the mission's success, Yamamoto told his commanders, "I fear all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and...

The Bush administration has started firing back at its critics, both at home and abroad, but it is the international criticism that is doing America the most damage. When a Democrat says something outrageous like America can't win the war or our forces routinely torture prisoners or that the terrorists are winning, the domestic audience reacts with a yawn and chalks

Commentary on the News Monday, August 23, 2004 Jack Kinsella - Omega Letter Editor The National Center for Public Policy Research has posted online an e-mail received from a soldier, Spc. Joe Roche of the 1st Armored Division, who says Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11 is "making the rounds" among soldiers at U.S. military bases overseas and is "shocking and crushing soldiers, making them feel ashamed" of their service in Iraq. Reading the letter brought tears to my eyes. Some excerpts: "Michael Moore's film, Fahrenheit 9/11, is making the rounds here at U.S. bases in Kuwait. Some soldiers have received...

Which America Should We Love Best? For the first time in my life, I've had just about all the politics that I can stand, and I am pretty sure you feel almost the same way. I would rather comment on almost anything that the Democratic National Convention, but I can't think of anything more important to understanding the Big Picture for the last days than who will lead America for the next four And Kerry's speech provided a wealth of insight into what his America would look like. John Kerry's acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination for President opened with...
