April 22 is here–Earth Day, and Scorched Earth Day in Pennsylvania. Only fools predict political outcomes this year. I qualify. So here’s what’s going to happen.
Hillary will probably win the primary. If she wins by any more than two percent, she will trumpet her triumph as a come-from-behind victory, even though she started with a 20 […]

That was mighty careless of him. You’d think the Anti-Christ would be a little more devious than that. Since Christ was clearly a white American, […]

I’ve written a few things about scams and fencing stolen merchandise on auction sites. Recently, the GAO discovered that items stolen from the military are for sale on eBay and Craigslist.

April 4, 2008 - Senator Obama is conveniently evading the question about his Islamic heritage. He consistently maintains he is a practicing Christian. However, the American electorate has a right to inquire about his early religious upbringing and observance while he was a child.

In Colombia, the narco “insurgent” group FARC is being decimated by a “carrot-stick” approach by the Colombian President Uribe.
After years of a “talk nice and let’s negotiate” President, where FARC used truces and safe zones to regroup and fight again rather than to negotiate, the present government is hitting hard, but offering amnesty to those […]

Why is this hue and cry about anti Islamic Dutch film? How long will the Muslims keep on nagging to the world about their suffering?

In 2003, President Bush took us to war on the wings of a lie.”
