Opinia.US SAN FRANCISCO — Due to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s decision to prolong her stay in the Middle East, her scheduled meeting in Washington with visiting Polish foreign minister Radosław Sikorski has been cancelled. The announcement of the cancellation was made Tuesday by the State Department spokesman Ian Kelly.
Tomorrow, of course, she has a meeting […]

A tip of a Yankees cap to the late, great New York newspaper columnist Jimmy Cannon for borrowing his signature phrase: nobody asked me, but…
THE WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCED THAT FEDERAL STIMULUS SPENDING HAS “SAVED OR CREATED” 640,329 JOBS SO FAR. Not 640,328 or 640,330, but 640,329. Of course this is nonsense—there’s no precise […]
Arianna Huffington, the Ann Coulter of the far-Left, expresses an enormous amount of dissatisfaction with the way her far-Left wing president does his job in her article this week on her website: “The Huffington Post”.
Huffington’s article, titled: “Barack Obama Is Doing My Job; Why America Needs Him to Do His,” openly wonders why […]
Charles Krauthammer, the Pulitzer prizewinning political columnist and Conservative commentator was interviewed by Der Spiegel on a variety of political topics — the interview was published today.On Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize:
Charles Krauthammer: It is so comical. Absurd. Any prize that goes to Kellogg and Briand, Le Duc Tho and Arafat, and Rigoberta […]
October 14th. The big chill was early, even for Albany. A press conference was being held in the park across from the New York Court of Appeals. The highest court in the state was set to hear Goldstein et al v. New York State Urban Development Corporation. The press conference speakers and their supporters were […]
TedLipien.com, SAN FRANCISCO — Bill Clinton might have asked what the “enhanced” definition of “to enhance” IS? The U.S. Embassy in Warsaw is busy blaming a Polish translator for mistranslating U.S. Ambassador Lee Feinstein’s TV interview answer about Polish troops in Afghanistan, which caused a diplomatic uproar in Poland. In an interview broadcast last […]
Opinia.US SAN FRANCISCO — U.S. media has not yet picked up on the latest diplomatic controversy between Poland and the U.S. But the public disagreement between President Obama’s new ambassador in Warsaw Lee A. Feinstein and the Polish defense minister over plans to send additional Polish troops to Afghanistan is drawing media attention in Poland.
Ah, a British paper just pooh poohed the British victory at the Battle of Agincourt, saying that Prince Hal was not outnumbered 4 to 1, merely outnumbered 2 to 1.
Actually, the author misses the point, which is that the elite knights of France got slowed down by the mud and were massacred by ordinary British […]
November 3, 2009 is a vitally important day in American politics — its the day the voters in New York’s 23rd Congressional district will decide between three candidates vying to replace Congressman John McHugh who was tagged to become the new Secretary of the Army in the Obama Pentagon. Why is this election so important? […]
In an incredibly chilling move, the White House tried to freeze out Fox News from interviewing Obama’s Pay Czar, while granting interviews to all the other major news organizations. As the video notes, often the White House makes a particular official available to all the groups, one after the other, but today’s event broke with […]
Clearly, the White House hasn’t quite figured out the difference between the two. Now, I will say that some many who complain about liberal bias in the media and quote Keith Olbermann to, in part, prove it also need this bit of education. (Quoting Keith Olbermann to show he’s an unserious clown is an entirely […]
President Obama was brought up in Asia, yet he seems clueless about Afghanistan, and of the geopolitical problems in this area.
The press is even worse, preferring the simplistic out of date explanations of the “Afghanistan is Viet Nam” meme, or the “Stop the war” meme, or stressing civilian casualties “reported” by Taliban linked sources without […]
Opinia.US SAN FRANCISCO — Tony Blinken, national security adviser to the vice president, said in a briefing with reporters before Biden left for Europe October 20, that leaders in Warsaw, Bucharest and Prague should think less of what the U.S. can do for them and more about what they can do with the United States.
Like the Bush strain before it, Obama Derangement Syndrome is an overly hysterical reaction to what are essentially policy differences. The most recent episode of the podcast I contribute to, Shire Network News, dealt with this very real issue. (And this is a right-leaning podcast; we do police our own.) Talk of a possible military […]
The news media today contains very little straight news; the Wall Street Journal and the Christian Science Monitor are two possible exceptions. If you, dear reader, know of any better sources of straight news, please leave a comment.Many if not most reporters today seem to take on the role of commentator and/or news analyst; […]
Okay, before I move on to the next installment of Ron’s Manifesto, I must comment on some of the feedback I received on the first article. I find it amazing that you can title an article “What I Believe” and still anger so many people, as though they do not believe you should be allowed […]
In this day and age, it is difficult to get people to clearly tell you what they believe and support. It’s pretty much impossible to get this honesty from politicians. I have decided to air out my views on a variety of topics, at the risk of possibly alienating a few. I believe it is […]
Zachary Christie, A six y/o “A” student at John R. Downes Elementary School in Delaware, brought his favorite Cub Scout camping utensil (a combination knife, fork and spoon) to school to eat lunch with it — he eats all his meals at home with it and saw no problem with taking it to school.That […]
Corruption is rampant in Washington, DC. The corruption starts with many career Congressional members unscrupulously representing themselves instead of their constituents, progressing to political expedient conduct, and ending with some members violating the law. Under these circumstances, the following analogy seems appropriate.
Once upon a time, in the capital of Never Never land, there were two […]
That’s what the Nobel Peace Prize has become. This was evident when Yassar Arafat won it in 1994 for pretending to go along with a peace agreement with Israel while continuing hostilities. This was evident when Al Gore won it in 2007 for his work on climate change of all things, because it might, maybe, […]
So I’ve learned many things in my young life…well, maybe not so young anymore. Nonetheless, I have learned enough from 16 years in the Marine Corps to feel confident discussing some of the finer aspects of leadership. I attempted to give our POTUS a heads up with an article I wrote earlier this year, but […]
While his accusation was out of order and unseemly, again we see he was right. Wilson accused the President of lying when Obama said that health care reform wouldn’t cover illegal immigrants. Recently, Obama tipped his hand on that claim, saying we had to make more the existing illegal ones legal so they can get […]
Using a slight of hand and having his propaganda mill obscure what has been done, the Democrats and the Obama administration are planning to fund abortion in their health care bill.
The original “compromise” on abortion was a slight of hand that would force people to pay for abortion coverage themselves, similar to the way you […]
From Eliot Cohen:
Unless you are a connoisseur of small pictures of bearded, brooding fanatical clerics there is not much reason to collect Iranian currency. But I kept one bill on my desk at the State Department because of its watermark—an atom superimposed on the part of that country that harbors the Natanz nuclear site. Only […]
Abbie Hoffman, Yippie Emeritus, died 20 years ago. He was master of the culture jam before the term was coined, whacking the establishment with its own wack.
Quoting Wikipedia: “Culture jamming sometimes entails transforming mass media to produce ironic or satirical commentary about itself, using the original medium’s communication method.”
Hello, ACORN? Can I come […]
In the late 50’s and early 60’s Robert Welch, head of the John Birch Society, posed a threat to the advance of the nascent conservative movement by his malevolent speculation about the motives of those whom he considered enemies of the state, including the Eisenhower administration. Left unchecked, Welch’s eruptions might have aborted Barry Goldwater’s […]
Dear Poland, Happy Soviet Invasion Day, Love Uncle Sam
Wired
While American and international media blames President Obama for choosing to announce his decision on the removal of the missile defense system from Poland and Czech Republic on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet attack on Poland on September 17, 1939, surprisingly so far no one has […]
Follow along with me everyone. It shouldn’t be hard. We will be travelling along a trail of logic and common sense…liberals, feel free to find another article, say at Huffington Post, which you will be able to keep up with.
Last week President Obama gave a speech to Congress. In it, he claimed that illegal immigrants […]
This week I wanted to do something a little different. Even though this event occurred many years ago, the name and event remains the same. Also, I doubt this aspect has been discussed at any great length. This event occurred before I was born and before many today were born. It even occurred before Charles […]
According to the Associated Press, Planned Parenthood plans to close five of its clinics in the state of Indiana in anticipation of a shortage in federal funding for the nonprofit organization. The clinics are located in Anderson, Franklin, Kokomo, northwest Indianapolis and Shelbyville.
The Indiana Family Health Council will begin distributing the funds for Title XX. […]
