Ukraine’s success illuminates a strategy that has allowed a smaller state to—so far—outlast a larger and much more powerful one. Battles reveal more than they decide. Battles in which the outcome is truly up for grabs are rare, and battles that prove decisive in achieving a political goal are rarer still. Instead, battles demonstrate how effectively combatants planned, prepared, and executed before the fighting began. The result of a battle exposes not only how well matched the sides are but also how the war might unfold in the future. In that sense, the outcome of the Battle of Kyiv was...

In the words of social and political philosopher Eric Hofer, “Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and turns into a racket.” So when I read this tweet by Andy Ngo, I was intrigued. “It’s such a repugnant group of people.”The executives behind @blckriflecoffee, a coffee and lifestyle brand hugely popular with conservatives, has some choice words to describe part of its customer base.

The left has ALWAYS used talking points to get their message out and they hammer it out ad nauseum. It's time WE do the same! Why they are called the Mainstream Media is beyond me! There is NOTHING mainstream about them. WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE MAINSTREAM AND THEY DON'T REPRESENT US! From now on, I hope you will join me by referring to them as the MARXIST MEDIA. After all, that is what they are and who they represent! Besides, it is a 'catchy' name and will drive them CRAZY to have the tables turned on these sick Hate...

Not very considerate.

For those who can bear to watch. I am watching on C-SPAN.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: If you will pardon me, a little housekeeping, a personal thing here. Yesterday afternoon in Washington at the Hudson Institute -- also not an insane asylum, this is a conservative think tank -- they had a panel discussion on improving America's energy security, and on the panel was Bob Lutz from General Motors, who said this. LUTZ: My plea to the right, and I have written e-mails to Rush Limbaugh, who likes to describe me as "My good friend Bob Lutz," although I never get an e-mail response from him. All of these people I find frustrate...

Green Bay Packers fans turned out in droves to welcome their Super Bowl championship football team back to town on Monday. Fans lined the city streets all along the Packers’ route from Austin-Straubel Airport back to Lambeau Field after the team’s plane landed around 1:45 p.m. The players and coaches traveled in a caravan of Green Bay city buses, and on some streets fans were lined up as much as five or six people deep, on both sides. The crowds grew considerably larger the closer the team got to Lambeau. Upon arriving at the stadium, thousands of fans were waiting...

She is on Fox ushering in the New Year with Bill and Meghan right now. Amazing how these Lebanese Armenian, or Lebanese Muslim chicks are becoming bigtime. Granted, they are nice to look at, other than that, they really must subscribe to ANYTHING is better than dating a Muslim man or they would still be in Muslim countries where they were born living the Muslim Dream, NO?

Who agrees and who disagrees with Dr. Paul? I would like to see income tax abolished (it is socialism light) but what say other Freepers? Watch the video of course.

A few anarchists from Greece thought it would be "fun" and "rebellious" to walk into a supermarket, steal food and money from the register and burn the money to protest the already dead capitalism in their country. Please tell me antics such as this won't happen in America any time soon. I have no other comment beyond that.

The Tea Party Patriot of Monterey County Minutemen encounter lots of nasty comments....but this is the first time they came from a class of 12 year olds from Salinas visiting Monterey on a field trip to McDonalds.

I've looked but there doesn't seem to be a live thread on this Supreme Court argument on abortion being re-aired by C-Span just moments after it finished. Souther and Scalia are going at it right now.

Please pardon the vanity. However, I am amazed no one has mentioned FOX News Infobabe Megyn Kendall and that red dress she's wearing at the inagural parties this evening. Shameless vanity. Sorry. Just wanted everyone to know Roger Ailes is into the spirit of the day.

Kerry has gone over the top claiming he would have help Chris Reeve to walk again and Bush would not. The new EC numbers show Bush taking states daily, the landslide begins!!!!!

does the shooting stop here??????????
