You might have seen some online chatter about a new series of elevated terror warnings at international airports. The UK Telegraph explains what it’s all about: Terrorists are plotting to use new stealth bombs in laptops and even humans to
In response to How Long Until Tim Howard Gets Tim Tebow’d?: I can’t give you a calendar date for the potential end of Tim Howard-mania, but I can tell you the event that would precipitate it: if he says anything
A sad postscript to yesterday’s post about the anti-Christian pogroms carried out by Boko Haram in Nigeria, and ISIS in Iraq, from Christian Today: The Chaldean Catholic Church’s Archbishop Bashar Warda of Erbil, in Kurdish-governed northern Iraq, is reported as
In response to That Hobby Lobby Ruling Is Just Like ISIS Imposing Sharia Law: That’s a pretty stunning display of sheer ignorance, or more likely deliberate mendacity. The liberal response to Hobby Lobby is all about emotional exhibitionism, going over
Despite sustaining a powerful hashtag diplomacy attack from the Obama Administration – in which everyone from State Department spokespersons to the First Lady took pictures of themselves holding up #BringBackOurGirls placards and looking sad – the Nigerian Islamist group known
Here’s the classy White House response to the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision, complete with silly hashtag: RT if you agree: Women–not their bosses–should be able to make their own health care decisions. #HobbyLobby #NotMyBossesBusiness — The White House (@WhiteHouse)
In response to Harry Reid Weighs In On Hobby Lobby Ruling: I wonder why none of these objections occurred to Harry Reid when he was voting for the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which passed the Senate with 97 votes, and
In response to Fugelsgang on Hobby Lobby: ‘Scalia Law a lot Like Sharia Law’: It’s tempting to dismiss these hysterics as the work of people who aren’t the sharpest tools in the drawer, but it would be more accurate to
The New York Post brings us a touching passage from Ed Klein’s new book, “Blood Feud,” in which Bill Clinton plans his death to provide maximum political benefit for Hillary: “I’m worried how my health will affect your campaign,” he
As a young fan of sci-fi, horror, and action films, I used to bristle when a critic would say some movie I enjoyed was “un-reviewable,” impervious to rational analysis, and bound to be a hit with the people who wanted
Hillary Clinton’s fabulous book tour / campaign launch / charm offensive continues, as students at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas react to learning that this selfless Woman of the People – who recently claimed she isn’t rich enough to be
This week, House Speaker John Boehner announced that his caucus is thinking about suing the White House over President Obama’s abuses of power this week. (Technically, Boehner merely announced that an announcement is forthcoming, which is the purest example of
In response to Video: Obama Decries ‘Phony Scandals’ In MN – ‘It’s Not On The Level’: I leave it up to dead-end Obama supporters to decide if they find it encouraging that he’s been giving the exact same speech for
“South Sudan named most fragile country; U.S. joins list of worsening nations,” warns the CNN headline. Rut-roh. We sure don’t want to end up like Sudan, do we? It turns out this assessment is based on an annual list by
The Associated Press reported that Sudanese Christian Meriam Ibrahim and her family were set free again, about two hours ago. Let’s see if it holds up this time. I wouldn’t assume she’s out of trouble until she’s out of Sudan.
In response to Lois Lerner Sought Audit Involving Sen Chuck Grassley: It’s not surprising that the outrage meter pegged on this because the target was a sitting Republican Senator who just happens to be sitting on the Finance Committee. (I
In response to Report: Meriam Ibrahim Free Again : Sad to say, the reports of Meriam Ibrahim slipping the noose (and I mean that literally) appear to have been overly optimistic. As of Wednesday afternoon, she was still in custody.
In response to Not a Smidgen of Corruption in IRS Wrongdoing: Well, I suppose if you accept Hillary Clinton’s definition of multi-million-dollar income as virtual poverty, then maybe $50k worth of wrongdoing isn’t quite a full “smidgen.” It’s more like
In response to New York Times Whitewashes Cochran’s Racial Tactics: I agree that an important distinction must exist between “unwise” and “illegal” tactics. It was a bit disappointing to hear Chris McDaniel refusing to concede, with his camp signaling they
After years of court battles, an early victim of the politicized Internal Revenue Service finally gets a little satisfaction, as the agency admits wrongdoing and ponies up a settlement for handing confidential information on the National Organization for Marriage over
I didn’t have much to say about the reports that Christian woman Meriam Ibrahim, the wife of U.S. citizen Daniel Wani and mother of his imprisoned American toddler and infant children, had been released, because I didn’t believe it. I
John Nolte mentioned that Tim Burton’s epochal “Batman” film is now 25 years old, which immediately made every aching joint in my aging body flare up, and more of my remaining hair turn white. Twenty-five years ago? Really? The nifty
I had a pretty good time with 2012’s “Battleship” until the huge alien war machines rose out of the water. There just isn’t enough good cinema about the modern surface Navy. It seemed a pity to spend the kind of
In response to Hillary Clinton: Bill and I Aren’t ‘Truly Well Off’: It’s kind of fascinating that she won’t shut up about this, as though determined to win some kind of argument with the Middle Class about whether she’s had
The humanitarian crisis deliberately created inside the U.S. border by Barack Obama’s amnesty policies is horrific enough, but it could get a lot worse. Not all of the children flung against our border in the current migratory wave are getting
