The latest assault of the stealth jihadists has suddenly gone national. And so has the push-back by freedom-loving Americans. With help from two of our country’s most prominent leaders – former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and former Speaker of the
Each week, Big Peace is going to dedicate a post to the Medal of Honor, choosing a day in the week that has an interesting and representative selection of awards of the Medal. Award criteria have evolved over the history
Can Professor Daniel Drezner be serious? He launches a pathetic attack against Big Peace contributor Michael Moriarty, declaring that there is simply no evidence that George Soros is a guiding force in Obama’s foreign policy. Drezner takes a personal shot
As we approach the nine year anniversary of our involvement in Afghanistan it may be time to reassess our commitment to nation building there. Immediately after 9/11 I believe almost all Americans were in agreement that we needed to be
Last week Al Arabiya decided to air a previously unknown video message from Faisal Shahzad, the convicted Times Square bomber. His justifications for Jihad in the video were similar to his statements at his June 21 arraignment. At his hearing,
Conservatives too often form “circular firing squads,” going after each other instead of standing together against the bad ideas of the Left. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that with the latest issue sparking internal debate among the Right: the
A hacker is by definition someone comfortable with rule-breaking, so when Adrian Lamo learned of Bradley Manning’s tale of giving 260,000 sensitive cables to WikiLeaks he had a dilemma. In May, 22 year-old US Army Private First Class Bradley Manning
The dictator who came the closest in history to igniting a nuclear war made several public appearances this week to predict imminent nuclear war. The cataclysm he craved in Oct. 1962 will erupt, he warned on Cuban TV this week,
Lying about being a lawyer: still illegal. Last week a Federal Judge in Denver, Colorado ruled that lies are constitutionally protected. It is the first such ruling of its kind, extending to fallacious speech the same protections as say the
Obama on Iran…..2008. Does he still think this way? [youtube ew5qP2oPdtQ nolink]
Now don’t get me wrong! I’m aware of my knee-jerk reactions to almost anything coming out of the Washington Post or the New York Times. I usually say to myself, “I told you so.” But this new series?! Investigative reports
So tonight, I had left Scout back at basecamp. In Iraq the Marines use German Shepherds and Dobermans. In this arena, Scout has an advantage over them. When you come across refugees in need of food, water or first aid,
On July 19, 2010, the U.S. Senate Senate passed the Bipartisan HR 2765 (as amended by the Leahy-Sessions SPEECH Act) by Unanimous Consent. The House of Representatives, which already passed HR 2765 introduced by Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN) by 433-2,
A few weeks ago Al Qaeda published the first issue of a glossy magazine called Inspire. Anwar al-Awlaki — the fugitive Yemeni-American imam who provided spiritual guidance to the Lap Bomber and the Killer Shrink of Fort Hood, among others
On Tuesday of last week, Talib Hussein, a trusted Afghan soldier, launched a well-planned attack on his British soldier comrades, killing 3, and fled the camp. A spokesman for the Taliban claimed that he was a “sleeper,” planted in the
Whether you listen to him or not, or consider yourself a fan or not, radio talk show host Michael Savage has been the victim of a grave injustice by the British government. He has literally been told that he cannot
So I’m driving down the 405 in West Los Angeles, thinking about how I can’t exist while others who believe differently from me exist, when I see it – a blue bumpersticker on the back of a Prius with the
The enemy was coming. Local dogs were the first to see them. Their frantic barks were easy to translate, “My loved ones live here! Stay away!” It was hard not to feel bad for the locals. They live in fear
There is quite a lot of hyperventilation going on about some testimony from one of the Justice Department lawyers Jay Bybee who co-wrote the so-called “torture memos”. Apparently some of the techniques the CIA used were not included in these
(Kakistocracy – noun, government by the worst persons; a form of government in which the worst persons are in power.) This coming November 2nd will be two years since the election of “Change” brought then-senator Barack Obama into the White
There he goes again. William Arkin has made a cottage industry – and, evidently, a living – out of revealing the Nation’s secrets. Invariably, he dresses up his treachery with a patina of virtue garbed as “good government” and “transparency.”
