The War on Police
By Cliff Kincaid Rather than being victims of police brutality, a new video shows that Occupiers at UC Davis knew they were going to be pepper sprayed and didn’t mind it. Indeed, the new video evidence indicates that the entire confrontation with the police was staged for the benefit of the media, which took the […]
What Difference – Global Warming Faith vs Christian Faith
November 10, 2011 by TonyfromOz
When skeptics refer to Climate Change/Global Warming as a faith, they are called to account, but really, when you see this short video, the comparison is an easy one to draw. After earlier attempts to make light of Climate Change/Global Warming with graphic videos showing children being blown up for not accepting the Climate Change […]
Anti-Semitism, a Growth Industry in Bad Times
By Alan Caruba In bad times, anti-Semitism seems to crawl out of the sewers like a repugnant odor. It is not subject to a rational response. It is pure emotion and a very nasty one at that. Lately we got a whiff of it at some of the Occupy protests. On November 3rd, the Anti-Defamation […]
The Anarchic Impulse in Zuccotti Park
By Herbert London The Occupy Wall Street demonstrators are no longer merely residents of Zuccotti Park, they have converted themselves into roving bands restricting traffic on Broadway and Church Street and occupying nearby buildings. Yet the city authorities avert their gaze and well known scholars who share a hard left ideology such as Cornel West, […]
Sinaloa Cartel And Zetas Now Mexico’s Biggest Drug Gangs
By Allan Wall Of the various drug cartels shooting up Mexico, two have come to dominate the scene. These are the Sinaloa Cartel and the Zetas. The Sinaloa Cartel is headed up by Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, who is actually on the Forbes magazine billionaire list. This gang is based in the northwestern state of […]
Al Gore – Promoter of Doomsday Cult?
By Sharon Hughes Okay, this picture is funny, but some take the comparison seriously. The Wall Street Journal had an article a few months back when Harold Camping predicted the end of the world would occur on May 21, 2011, called Camping the “Christian Al Gore.” Why? Because the former Vice President is more and […]
Unemployed Imbeciles Gather to Protest
By Alan Caruba I confess I have not paid much attention to the Occupy Wall Street protest. Watching New York cops arrest whole bunches of them on the Brooklyn Bridge for obstructing traffic was briefly entertaining, but it occurred to me I had no idea why they were protesting except for the fact that they […]
Remembering The Unforgettable
By Amil Imani It is said that “powerlessness frustrates and absolute powerlessness frustrates absolutely; absolute frustration is a dangerous emotion to run a world with.” Sometimes I wonder why I am so restless, why I cannot cease thinking! It seems like the world we live in reveals to us incessantly, at certain moments or in […]
Overpopulated Rhetoric
By Ken McIntyre Neglected news out of the Crazy from the Heat Department is word that the global overpopulists are in a terrific snit because soccer superstar David Beckham and his wife, Victoria, dare to continue producing children. Talk about a crime against nature. Fortunately, as The Wall Street Journal noted, the Beckhams had the […]
Radical Environmentalists’ Continuing Campaign Against Economic Freedom
By Jim Roberts Recently, radical environmentalists have waged a campaign to stifle free enterprise and economic freedom. Here are some of their recent skirmishes, ranging from crop destruction in Australia to attacks on toy companies like Lego and Disney: Photos of Greenpeace activists destroying an experimental crop of genetically modified (GM) wheat earlier this month […]
Ignoring Iran to Our Peril
By Alan Caruba On Saturday, July 23, Daryush Rezaee-Nejad, an Iranian scientist involved with its nuclear program was assassinated in front of his home in Tehran. Two motorcyclists shot him in the head and throat. Being a nuclear scientist has become a very bad career choice in Iran. According to Debka, an Israeli news agency […]
I’m Pro-Choice on Light Bulbs and You Can Be Too
By Peter Gadiel The attempted repeal of the ban on incandescent bulbs has failed for now. Joe Barton’s (R-Texas) HR2417 light bulb pro-choice bill was defeated…sort of. Although an overwhelming majority voted for repeal of the ban (233 to 193) due to the fact that the vote was held under a suspension of the rules […]
Senators See Gun Control as Anti-Terrorism Strategy
By Jim Kouri, CPP. Several top Democrat lawmakers this week revised their gun control argument by claiming tighter gun laws will help prevent terrorists from acquiring weapons in the United States. For example, Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) advised lawmakers to include the threat of armed terrorists acquiring more weapons and ammunition in the United States […]
And Whale Meat Is A Renewable Resource, Too
By Andrew Bolt Matt Ridley asks – how renewable is renewable? Last week the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a thousand-page report on the future of renewable energy, which it defined as solar, hydro, wind, tidal, wave, geothermal and biomass. These energy sources, said the IPCC, generate about 13.8% of our energy and, if […]
American Jihadist to U.S.: “Bin Laden’s Death Only Makes Us Stronger”
By Jim Kouri, CPP. American-born terrorist, Abu Mansur Al Ameriki, a member of the Somali al-Qaeda affiliate group Al Shabaab, said at a meeting yesterday in Mogadishu that the death of Osama Bin Laden will not weaken Jihad against the United States and Israel, but rather it has strengthened them. Al Ameriki, born Omar Shafik […]
What Happened on AA Flight 1561?
By Michelle Malkin If you listen to the passengers and crew who flew on American Airlines Flight 1561 last weekend, there’s no doubt about what happened on their harrowing trip: A Yemeni man shrieking “Allahu akbar!” at the top of his lungs more than 30 times rushed the cockpit door twice intending to take down […]
WikiLeaking on GITMO
By James Carafano, PhD WikiLeaks, which has been sitting on an enormous cache of classified U.S. government documents, released another batch of materials to U.S. and European news “partners” including The New York Times. According to press reports, the documents include “intelligence assessments of nearly every one of the 779 individuals who have been held […]
The Mysterious Middle East
By Alan Caruba I don’t think anyone knows what’s going to happen in the Middle East and that includes the people who live there as well as those who have ruled them despotically for decades, if not centuries. The bad news about the Middle East is that all this rioting, insurrection, et cetera, has very […]
Why Do I Call Them Eco Nazis? Because They ARE Eco Nazis!
By James Delingpole A fascinating article by Mark Musser in American Thinker on one of the pioneers of apocalyptic global warming theory. Turns out – whoulda thunk? – that he was a eugenicist and a Nazi. One of the primary pioneering theorists on apocalyptic global warming is Gunther Schwab (1902-2006), an Austrian Nazi. In […]
Using Fear to Ban BPA – The BPA File, Part Two
By Alan Caruba Writing for Health News Digest.com in early February, Michael D. Shaw noted that bisphenol-A (BPA), a chemical used to make polycarbonate plastics and an ingredient in the epoxy resin used as a protective coating in metal cans, “is one of the most heavily studied chemicals of all time. Indeed, there are more […]
The Worst Sheriff in America?
By Michelle Malkin There are many heroes who showed indomitable courage and grace under fire during this weekend’s horrific Tucson massacre. Blowhard Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik was not one of them. If the White House has any sense, President Obama will stay far away from the demagogic Dupnik and his media entourage when he […]
