I was watching the returns on line and was watching a podcast of Larry Schweikart and the Baris pollster. I noticed trends that pollster was talking about. 1. In Florida, Trump was overperforming in urban areas and Biden was underperforming. 2. With Blacks and Hispanics, Trump was over performing and Biden was underperforming. 3. In PA, OH and the early returns of MI and WI, the same trends were happened. 4. It seemed to be a national trend. It was around 9:30-10. And that is when it started. FNC immediately calls AZ for Biden as soon as its polls closed....

IAF fighter jets dropped over 20 tons in bombs late Wednesday night on a Hizbullah bunker, possibly the hiding place of the group's leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, in the Bourj al-Barajneh refugee camp in southeast Beirut. It was still unclear who was in the bunker at the time and what their fate was, but IDF sources said the bunker was totally destroyed and that all that was left was a crater. The IDF obtained intelligence information late Wednesday night that Hizbullah leaders possibly including Nasrallah had taken refuge inside the bunker. A wave of aircraft immediately took to the air...

Just saw on CNN that 23 tons of explosives were dropped on a Hezbollah bunker. Top Hezbollah officials are believed to have been inside. No story on the website yet.

Dear Mr. President, I never imagined a day would come when I would disavow a Republican President, but that day is here. With your selection of Harriet Miers today, you have betrayed your word, you have betrayed me and you have betrayed every social conservative who ever worked on your behalf. This was a historic opportunity for you to deliver on your campaign promises and finally give us a nominee in the vein of Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. Instead you fumbled. We know Michael Luttig, Edith Hollan Jones, or Janice Rogers Brown are reliably conservative. We have no such...

If you, gentlemen, really want “to see US politics from another angle”, compare it with politics of present-day totalitarian regimes in Central Asia, for instance. And you’ll realize that there are practically no differences for our “democratic” state and e.g. authoritarian government in Turkmenistan. It’s common knowledge that Turkmen authorities abridge liberty of speech, freedom of the press, exercising control over mass and I-net. They bow down, imposing restrictions on freedom of association and assembly, in order to curtail political activity of non-governmental organizations, including groups of religious minorities. Nijazov does it with the aim of exercising control over latitude...

NEW YORK (The Hollywood Reporter) --- Peter Arnett is taking "perverse pleasure" out of reporting from Baghdad for one of CNN's rivals, he told reporters Tuesday. Arnett is contributing to MSNBC and NBC News through his role as a reporter for "National Geographic (news - web sites) Explorer," a two-hour documentary show MSNBC airs each week. The former CNN reporter, who was the lone television correspondent in Baghdad during the initial U.S. bombing of the city in the 1991 Persian Gulf War (news - web sites), talked about the intense hostilities to come and "misinformation" that has been presented...

America invades Iraq, Playboy “invades” Lebanon.... Arab countries impose a complete ban, at least publicly, on the entry of pornographic magazines and articles for religious and ethical reasons. But Lebanon appears to be the only Arab state, which has openly given the Playboy magazine, considered by many as porn, access to the country and permitted its sale at the bookshops. Playboy is not new to Lebanon in general and the capital Beirut in particular. The U.S. magazine used to be sold freely in Beirut some 35 years ago, before the Lebanese civil war and the deterioration of the security...
