January 31, 2011 by papundits

By Andrew Bolt We usually only take one of Andrew’s Posts each day, but this Post is well worth adding.

Waiting and Watching Egypt

January 31, 2011 by papundits

By Alan Caruba Today we watch events unfold in far off places often in real time. What we lack, however, is context. Most Americans and, I suspect, others in Western nations are frequently at a loss when it comes to knowing anything about the culture and history, past and recent, of nations in the Middle […]

By Noel Sheppard Chris Matthews on Friday asked the panelists on the syndicated program bearing his name two questions about the crisis in Egypt that must have made his liberal viewers gasp.

When Presidents Get Idealistic in the Middle East

January 30, 2011 by T Lee Humphrey

George W. Bush’s speeches during his primary run and then as the nominee show us a man very focused on domestic issues. When it comes to foreign policy some of his initiatives were to be ending the idea of nation building and getting out of Bosnia and Kosovo…why because President Clinton had US forces there […]

Israel Holds Its Breath

January 30, 2011 by papundits

By Alan Caruba After more than three thousand years of varying calamities, Jews have perfected survival against the odds. There is a joke they tell about “Jewish Zen”: “Breathe in. Breathe out.

January 30, 2011 by papundits

Not missing the opportunity to do so, Chris Matthews began the 5PM installment of “Hardball” Friday connecting the riots in Egypt to a man that […]

No More Debt Until Spending Is Cut

January 30, 2011 by papundits

Losing Egypt

January 29, 2011 by papundits

By Alan Caruba Those of us around at the time of the 1979 Iranian student revolution that deposed the shah are having strong feelings of déjà vu because that uprising was swiftly co-opted by Ayatollah Khomeini who hated the Great Satan, America, as much as he hated the Little Satan, Israel. The U.S. lost a […]

January 29, 2011 by papundits

By Andrew Bolt Julia Gillard is betting that voters will forget the pain of her flood levy by the time of the election, and praise instead the Government which by then has balanced the Budget again.
