At least 15 Palestinians have been killed and scores injured in a blast during a parade by the militant Hamas group in the Gaza Strip. A truck carrying gunmen and home-made weapons blew up during the rally in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza. Israel has denied involvement, while the ruling Palestinian Fatah faction said it held Hamas responsible. It is the deadliest incident in Gaza since Israel pulled its troops and settlers out earlier this month. Hours earlier, Palestinians fired rockets into Israel from Gaza after Israel killed three militants in a raid in the West Bank town...

To the happy few who may read this...I used to post here as Pat The Postman. Never insulted anyone. Just presented facts. Paid respect to everyone. Yesterday I participated in a highly interesting thread about the War On Iraq/Terrorism. Today I posted a link to an official report from the UK from the Chatham House, a deeply respected think tank, held in high esteem all over the world. And what happened? Well, all my posts were removed, and the thread about the Chatham House report was pulled within a minute. This is interesting. What's the matter? There is but one...

Hi Jim, Looks like Illegal Immigration and Amnesty is going to be your downfall, and the downfall of FR if you don't change your ways. I hope it is not the downfall of the conservative movement.

I reported abuse (name calling, personal attacks etc.)from your favorites, and I was the one that was suspended. The jig is up Jim, and you've...

My wife, Gretchen, is fond of saying that my last words on this earth will be something akin to, "hey y'all, hold my beer and watch this!" Well, I have outdone myself once again. No doubt you will see this true story chronicled in a LifeTime movie in the near future. Here goes. Last weekend I spied something at Larry's Pistol and Pawn that tickled my fancy. (Note: Keep in mind that my "fancy" is easily tickled). I bought something really cool for Gretchen. The occasion was our 14th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for...

The last in a series of attempts by Palestinian guerillas to shoot at Israeli territory ended in a blunder. A rocket landed on the city of Bait Khanun, located in the Gaza Strip. From the looks of things, the rocket simply wasn't able to reach its assigned target. As a result, it destroyed an automobile in Palestinian territory. According the information from western news agencies, there were no injuries from the incident. Palestinian extremists frequently fire upon Jewish settlements in the Gaza strip, and the territory of Israel as well. On Friday, a woman was killed when a rocket...
