The Origins of Thanksgiving

November 26, 2010 by

0

We do not celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia, but that does not mean I do not understand the importance of an occasion like this. Thanksgiving was yesterday, I know, but what I wanted to do as an exercise was to show these three separate posts so that readers can compare them. The first is this […]

November 26, 2010 by

By Andrew Bolt Did Kim Jong-il kill three South Koreans just to make his son look like a general? North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and his son and successor Jong-un visited the artillery base from where shells were fired at a South Korean island just hours before the attack, South Korean media reported on Thursday.

North Korea, China’s Hidden Dagger

November 25, 2010 by

By Alan Caruba The Korean War ended in a stalemate in 1953. Having begun on June 25, 1950 with the blessings of Joseph Stalin, an armistice agreement on July 27, 1953 left the peninsula divided between the Republic of South Korea and the Peoples Republic of North Korea. How long ago was that? Dwight D. […]

Giving Thanks for American Ingenuity

November 25, 2010 by

0

By Michelle Malkin One of my favorite television programs is “How It’s Made” on the Science Channel. The documentary series shows “how the everyday objects people use become the things they are.” From ketchup and flip-flops, to nail clippers and snare drums, to NASCAR engines, hydraulic cylinders and motor homes, the show takes viewers on […]

Don’t Look at Pentagon Budget to Cut Back on Federal Spending

November 25, 2010 by

0

By James Carafano, PhD Hope is not a strategy. Last month’s elections made that clear. Through the year, polls consistently revealed the unpopularity of Obamacare, deep concern about excessive spending, and misgivings about how the things are going in Iran and Afghanistan. Yet all the way up to the elections, progressives hoped that Americans would […]

The Chinese Puppet Roars

By T. Lee Humphrey At the end of Oct 2006 I published a piece on North Korea entitled “The North Korean Standoff” (http://howdidwegetherenow.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html) after they’d attempted to test a 3-stage rocket in July 2006 and failed and then attempted their first nuclear weapons test and again failed but signalled their move towards entering the nuclear […]

A Rebuttal to You Can Touch my Junk pt 2

November 25, 2010 by

0

Once again it is necessary to rebut the case for the use of procedures that are unnecessary for the vast majority of the travelling public. I live in Australia and we do not employ the x-ray machines that are now being used in the USA, neither do we have to remove our shoes to go […]

Warmists hate not only humans, but the dogs that love them

November 25, 2010 by

1

By Andrew Bolt Matt Smith is a journalism lecturer and thus, of course, a global warmist of the more puritanical kind: Serving up Fido as an entree might be a bit extreme, but one of the most effective ways you can make an impact on your ecological footprint is by not owning a dog… When […]

The Hand of Providence

By Mark Alexander The genuine spirit of Thanksgiving amid all the hustle and bustle “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.” –Psalm 100:4-5 Thanksgiving, as introduced by European […]

Barack the Barbarian

By Alan Caruba In the film, Conan the Barbarian, his father asks him what is best in life and Conan answers “Crush your enemies. See them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of their women.” Fortunately, Barack Obama has not been able to crush his “enemies” which, in the run-up to the midterm […]

Climate Change, No Longer Scary in Europe

November 24, 2010 by

0

By Dr. Hans Labohm The upcoming climate change (and wealth redistribution) summit in Cancun – coupled with Bjorn Lomborg’s ongoing publicity campaign for his new film – makes one thing painfully obvious. The fight against the delusion of dangerous man-made global warming remains an uphill struggle. For decades the climate debate has been obfuscated by […]

A Dry Bones Cartoon First there was this news, published by the New York Times: U.S. sees Atomic Arms Bid in New North Korea Plant “Senior U.S. defense officials said Sunday that the revelation of North Korea’s new uranium enrichment facility confirmed long-standing suspicions that the country was seeking a second route to build atomic […]

You Can Touch My Junk Part Two

November 24, 2010 by

By T. Lee Humphrey In You Can Touch My Junk part one I talked about the realities of the fully body scanner and tried to lower the language temperature by explaining that the MSM and anti-scanner crowd term naked picture didn’t really apply but to no avail. The MSM and more shockingly the right-wing of […]

A green plan to have us all eating bark soup

November 24, 2010 by

0

By Andrew Bolt Let me see if I’ve got this right. Farmers grow crops for food and if those crops fail, they don’t get an income that they would have got for selling that crop to food producers. Now, the Government wants to pay farmers, not to use their land to grow crops, but to […]

It’s Muslim Terrorists, Stupid, Not Americans!

November 23, 2010 by

2

By Alan Caruba When was the last time an American terrorist got on a commercial airliner and attempted to blow it up mid-flight? The answer is never. The 19 hijackers of the 9/11 airplanes were all foreign-born Arab Muslims. They passed through airport screening despite having box cutters on their persons. My suspenders have set […]

Al Gore Says He Supported ‘Not Good’ Ethanol Policies To Help His Presidential Ambitions

November 23, 2010 by

By Noel Sheppard Nobel laureate Al Gore said this weekend that tax breaks for corn-based ethanol are “not good policy” and that he only supported these subsidies in order to assist his eventual run for president. Reuters Africa reported Monday the former Vice President made these comments while speaking to a green energy conference in […]

Terrorist Triumph

A Dry Bones Cartoon The American holiday of Thanksgiving will be celebrated this coming week. A traditional time for going “home for the holidays”. Thinking about how travel has been impacted by Islamist Terrorism got me angry …as did the increasingly draconian security measures being taken and the continued refusal to use profiling to protect […]

Tony’s Notes From The Bony Novels (Part 4)

November 23, 2010 by

1

The anomaly of Bony’s age. As an author of what turned into a popular series of novels, Arthur Upfield had a problem that was always going to be difficult to overcome. While his novels were popular, then the mindset is for him to continue writing them. There’s no point in his wanting to write the […]

A change in the weather doesn’t explain Yemen

November 23, 2010 by

By Andrew Bolt So, let me see if I’ve got this right. The upsurge in al Qaeda activity in Yemen can be put down to…..Climate Change. What the!…..TonyfromOz. Here we go again, focusing on the fashionable rather than the real. Australian ABC TV’s Lateline current affairs program host Leigh Sales last night gave the friendliest […]

JFK Remembered

November 22, 2010 by

What does the image of this baby have to do with the day JFK was taken from us? The say you’re getting old if you can remember where you were and what you were doing when JFK was assassinated. I’m from Australia, and it is even a phenomenon here, but there is a quirk about […]

As a result of a video being placed on YouTube from a man who had a bad experience with the bully-boy TSA, there now seems to be a campaign whereby posters are claiming that the new pat down procedures as well as the intimidation of the TSA is so necessary that the travelling public must […]

The Patriot Post Brief The Foundation “I would rather be exposed to the inconveniencies attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.” –Thomas Jefferson Liberty “America is in debt past its eyeballs. Unemployment remains stuck near double digits. Small and large businesses, unions and insurers are clamoring for Obamacare waivers […]

Renewable Power Fail – As Usual – August 2010

THE EVER INCREASING NUMBERS OF RENEWABLE POWER PLANTS RESULTS IN AN INCREASE IN CO2 EMISSIONS. This may seem a strange thing to say, but read the post and it shows exactly why this is in fact happening. Some may wonder why I am doing this analysis on a month by month basis, as, really, there’s […]
