In their worse nightmares, John McCain and the Republican Party could not have imagined the doomsday scenario being played out at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The current resident, a lame duck hawk, was given a six-month "Notice to Vacate" on Sunday, which means that he will not be around to muck up the works next January 20. Read Full Story

I am a non-systematic but very methodical student of the Koran. For years now I have followed one unvarying method of study. When the mood strikes me, I open the Koran to a randomly chosen sura, and start to read aloud. And, to my never-ceasing astonishment, virtually every single time I do this, I encounter exactly the same thing. After a few brief lines--on occasion even poetical lines--about the greatness of Allah and his creation, the text suddenly switches from praise of Allah to lengthy... Read Full Story

Israel will “almost surely” strike Iran’s nuclear sites in the coming months — and if the conventional attacks fail to destroy or at least delay Iran’s nuclear program, the Middle East will face a nuclear war. That’s the view of Benny Morris, a professor of Middle Eastern history at Israel’s Ben-Gurion University, who predicts either a subsequent pre-emptive Israeli nuclear strike or a nuclear exchange after Iran gets the bomb.

Turkey is half pregnant with political Islam, if one believes Western foreign ministries and the mainstream press. Its Islamist government last week arrested 82 alleged coup plotters from Turkey's military and intellectual elite, on the strength of a secret indictment of 2,445 pages. Turkish media have offered fanciful allegations linking the secular leaders of the alleged "Ergenekon" plot to al-Qaeda as well as the violent Kurdish Workers' Party. Among those detailed are pillars of the... Read Full Story

A new study warns that fraudulent votes by non-citizens, including illegal aliens, could swing this year's local and national elections. "When you learn that half of the 9/11 hijackers were registered to vote, that's when you realize that the honor system the country has for its voter registration system is broken," explains Hans von Spakovsky, a visiting scholar at the Heritage Foundation and author of a new report titled "The Threat of Non-Citizen Voting."

An American congressperson wants to take your business away.             Shocked that an elected legislator from California who swore an oath to defend the United States Constitution vows to do what the Constitution does not give her the authority to do? You shouldn’t be because Rep. Maxine Waters is a liberal. The following is but a glimpse of what occurred in late May when a Democrat-led Congress summoned “big oil” executives to Capitol Hill to be publically harassed in a Stalinist... Read Full Story

The spirit of the media frenzy surrounding the arrest of the former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic on July 21 is based entirely on the doctrine of non-equivalence inaugurated in 1992: Serbs willed the war, Muslims wanted peace; Serb crimes are bad and justly exaggerated, Muslim crimes are understandable.

Many years ago while living in Japan, I noticed an unusual number of university students were among those who made up the crowds at socialist demonstrations. I asked a professor at the University of Tokyo, Dr. Shiraishi, about this observation and found his reply quite interesting. He told me that college students in Japan were quite poor. The long hours of study made it next to impossible for them to obtain extra work to increase their meager monetary allowances. Full Article ... Read Full Story

Dr. Spencer is one of the leading climatologists fighting the good fight against the hype of anthropogenic global warming and his remarks are worth reading. I imagine his actual scientific testimony will go right over the heads of those feeling liberals like Barbara Boxer in the Senate committee hearing. The pdf document is here complete with graphs and other scientific data showing that the greenhouse gas scare is all a way over hyped myth being pushed by politicians with an agenda that has...
